'99 C280 Blown engine
 
There's one for sale here locally Blown engine Clean inside and out though. Worth saving?

How much is the car selling for, how much is a good replacement engine, what's the installation cost, and what is the value of a comparable car in running condition?

they arre trying to get 1K for it. Dont know the rest.
eh... worth abotu 4 grand.... Not gonna bother with it

If the finished car is only worth $4k, it would be tough to make the numbers work.

not the way the person I'd have do the swap would charge. prolly lookint at 4-600 for the motor plus shipping 3-5 right there. another 1,000 to swap it in... not worth it

Agreed, and those prices are probably optimistic.

Very optimistic...if I were to keep the car myself I'd do it.. but as a hobby fixit nah...
