Default Good price for a LQ9 complete?

Curious as to what is a good price for a complete LQ9 with a/c. Found one local. Yard wants $2500 complete with 67K. Is this average? Only found one LQ4 in phoenix an it was a grand just for the long block. Thanks

But that is rare, I can find the usual long blocks from yards for around $1K for lq4, and $1700 for lq9 with those miles. These would have no accessories, starter and sometimes no flywheel.

I am thinking about a lq4 with 44k on it for $1000, but was hoping to find a better deal, but it seems pretty hard

For whatever reason this is the only LQ9 in the entire phoenix area! Sounds like they are asking too much at $2500 for a motor with 60k plus miles. Guess I could always get one shipped here.

try different zip codes than your own. i.e. different states.

If it helps, I recently purchased an 04 LQ9 from LKQ Corp off 40th Street and University. Motor was complete except accessories and computer, but had the harness, intake, injectors, etc. Motor had approx. 40k miles, and I got the whole thing for $1200. I would definitely recommend giving them a call, and based on past experience, it looks like you can negotiate a bit on the price.
