whats the going rate for m50?

^That's pretty awesome. If you don't mind me asking, what did it cost for shipping on it?

Like $125, but that was in '09 and shipped to the warehouse where my dad was the manager.

Incredibly handy.

However, "dock shipping" should be fairly reasonable. Basically they ship it to the closest loading dock, and you show up with a truck and they put the pallet in the back.

damn, thats awesome! i can tell that you are not making any sort of argument, however we are not comparing apples to apples in this case. vines would be far and away safer to buy from than lkq or pick a part. also, i am pretty sure your investment was a good deal greater than 250.00. getting that kind of reputability comes with some inherent cost.

Very true. I paid about $2500 for an S52, G260, 3.73 diff, E34 oil pan and a few other things + shipping.

I put it out there because a lot of the younger guys can't seem to grasp the difference between "price" and "value."

Just because something costs more, doesn't mean it was a waste of money.

I bought my e36 parts car for $300, made my money back selling parts. I'm going to do the t-stat and water pump before it goes in the car and hope for the best. If the engine goes bad I have another e30 to daily while I rebuild the 24v for turbo.

well, decided to go a different direction with my car...lol

anyway, i still have the lead on the motor, if any locals are interested hit me up. i bought my car from this guy, sent a few other people his way who were looking for things.

so yeah, if anyone wants a 400$ M50 in MD let me know, i put you in contact.

I've sold them for 500-800 depending on mileage condition and if they could hear it run and do a compression test. 350-400 is a dam good deal if you can hear it run and do a test... At the pick n pull (cr) it cost about 300 with all accessories for a engine. But you can find a wrecked m50/52 car for 500 or less and go check it out do a compression test and there you go. It would be free by the time you parted/scrapped the rest...
