    Depending on the condition of everything id say atleast $2000. Maybe more, maybe less.

    With that kind of mileage I'd agree with this. If the owner has done a ton of preventative maintenance since day one and has receipts to show for it, then maybe $2,500. But I'm talking diff/gearbox fluid changes every 30k, oil every 5k, etc.

    Ummm $2800 seems kinda high to me. I've seen people get s52's for cheaper then that and no higher then $3000 with less mileage. Heck i even purchased my s52 back in 2008 for only $1500.

    Either way its on how much of a rush you want or need it. If i was going to spend $2800, it wouldnt be on a s50. I say either talk him down to atleast $2500 or find a different motor.

    /agree, I purchased a S52 for 2.3K with 100K miles about a year ago now. With unknown maintenance it would be crappy to find out you need another grand plus to put into it.

    $2500 for and engine and trans sounds pretty reasonable to me,....so if you've got it delivered for $2800, i'd say thats pretty fair. no?

    looks like you've got an S52 swap in Pittsburgh on ebay right now.....$2500, pickup only.

    If it was everything,& I mean everything 2500 would be a good price if you knew it was in good condition.if it's an unknown pull out than no way, find a less expensive one
