Don't do it Rich... If you did, you would never get round to finishing the bat-mobile

I reckon it's about the money at that - given:

a) It's rusty
b) No mileage specified a bit wierd eh?
c) It's the saloon - softer suspension etc.

110470 miles.....it's in one if the pictures in the link.

you're no the only one.

Great price and good low miles too.

If it's just for a donor and you don't want to drive it, I'd be more tempted by this:

Low milage too.

Engines from breakers are ALWAYS low mileage. I guess they reckon there is no way you can find out either way, and even if you did find out it came from a 120,00 mile car they would just say 'sorry, we made a mistake'

True. But I still want it :-)

Wonder how much the surcharge is for not returning your scrap engine? and if no engine to return then warranty is void, seems a bit harsh.

That is only 10 miles up the road from me....... Damn, so tempted!

If it was that close to me it'd be on the drive by now

Why would they want the scrap engine, for scrap? Or are they planning to 'rebuild' it?

You'll need the dash ecu/ews/key, the whole shebang or it just wont run. Theres a few guys in the states whove got round all that but it aint cheap. IIRC its all to do with the canBUS system used......
