Default How many of yall bought your LQ9 off the internet?

Yeah, so I've just been doing some pricing online for Vin N engines from caddy and I've found some pretty sweet looking deals. Are these things too good to be true? I just got off the phone with a lovely lady in Pakastan about an LQ9 in chicago, complete from pan to manifold, for $1900 shipped... with 45k to 65k miles. When I priced LS1's 2's, and L92's they were anywhere from $3k to more than I paid for my car, lol.

Just wondering if any of yall got your stuff from the net, or if you personally snatched it from a caddy in a scrapyard.

Any horror storries? Anything to look out for? Is there a specific year LQ9 I should be looking for or avoiding?

Its amazing how much cheaper these things are. If only they knew...

i would try to get one local first, they can take a picture of a different motor and send it to u , 1500 would be the MAX i would pay for a used motor too, unless its a l92/ls3 with low miles

Man, they want some crazy $ for LS2/3 or L92s online. I'll see what i can do locally. It would be really sweet to get an L92 on the cheap!
