I picked up a Turbo wagon for cheap, only problem is it needs a motor. I am located in San Diego but would be willing to road trip a few states over for a good one.

Spamman, I met a mechanic up in lemon grove who has one a few months ago. Not sure what he plans on doing with it....Let me try and dig up his business card.

What do these things cost nowadays?

2005 C 230 K, 26,000 - 77,000 miles (sold)

Thanks, any leads are appreciated. I would guess that a good motor would be worth around 5-600 dollars. I am not sure how much more one equipped with a SLS head would go for though.

Call German Auto Center in Garden Grove. 714.636.1570. Ask for Terry. He had a wagon motor sitting in the corner of his shop a few months ago. He told me that he can find anything I need as he has contacts here and in Germany.
