[QUOTE="Evox, post: 1050105, member: 74754"] I just did a rough freight quote for a 450 lb engine shipped to Beaverton Oregon Cost of the crate and materials to ship the motor: $250-$300 Cost to move it across country: $400-$500. [B] So just the out of pocket cost is: $650 - $800. [/B] This seller on ebay is asking $1614.99 [URL='https://www.ebay.com/itm/144841249045?fits=Year%3A2002%7CModel%3AExplorer+Sport+Trac%7CMake%3AFord&hash=item21b9361115:g:dbMAAOSwZyJjjcev&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAABAJz20g2Bf2r%2B1kUzbH96zNaXYGtwTJZrIEMkCUs12EBwgOEP7fevKdnXrrK2K8l1Xt0bGIOz9p4SLtT0dLLZd0hvrGvtrQMVB4VBEVfxNqeHwDj5fxqePwKYFKk4qOiR%2Fq7Xd8O%2BJPZx14DTn0rlyJOptah2w36g8omkG3rSmAu3z9VYGUTOdfa%2FnaHHtABzD87E58oVAEHaYaApA8t1nRlG6h%2BvI2tF%2BDMpEJvt5cORNcOoB241GmYkI%2FwGwuKzo7fdXNQ14DUsuC8RhUKWiz8rxYOrEed9mQx4qeXbepXB%2BmEcbgDlTodJhJNThLj%2FkRhsGlpJ%2BLXM1GO2LNZzI5A%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBMuLaP54Ri'](LINK)[/URL] and is including free shipping. So I'm guessing there is about $800-$1000 of meat on the bone for the seller after he pays freight. Which is priced about right since other sellers asking $800-$1,000 to come pick it up. That should give you guys a rough idea on how much the engine is worth. Like has already been mentioned if Fred has the time, room, and patients to part it out, the truck is worth a lot more then $500. -Motor: $800 -Transmission: $400-$600 -Instrument Cluster: $100-$200 -Steering Wheel: $150-$200 -Tailgate: $200-$600 -Rear axle: $300-$500 ...and on and on. It just takes time, and you have to have the space to keep all the parts. After you've picked the parts clean what's left can still sold for scrap. Most people who buy junk cars for $500 will make $2500-$3000 from the parts. It just takes 6 months to a year. [/QUOTE]
