Question ebay ca18det

so theres a ca18det..i know i know ebay is mostly a no no but i have been haveing trouble finding a ca18det for sale, i searched all the sites i knew of and tried finding other ones but havent had no luck finding one. So they have a ca18det with engine, rwd 5 spd tanny, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, turbo, and a cut harness for $899. first off i know you get what you pay for but i dont know if this is cheap for a ca and i am kind of sketchy purchasing a motor through ebay, but they claim they have a 90 day 100% start up warranty. It also says for a uncut harness it will be $249 extra. so is this a good deal? or is it to good to be true, please help i searched and couldnt find the answer, if i havent i must be lazy cause i tried. i have experienced ebay rip offs before thats why im kind of sketchy to go back, but not everyone is out to rip you off well not totally anyways. and if anyone knows where i could find one for a better price or more reliable let me know thanks.

Cut harness sounds great, I always love trying to put spaghetti into something useful.

Look into www.venus-auto.com they sell engines fairly cheap also AND they stand behind them if there is a problem(which usually there is)

Ebay works I sell there, just alot of people ruin it for the rest of us. You really have to watch who you buy from there's groups of people on ebay who sell each other pens and coupons to get feedback then they jack a bunch of someone elses photo's and rip people off.

So your ganna need the I/C and piping, maybe some sensors, downpipe, UNCUT harness and gauge cluster/tach(I think I missed something).

Eh, I say look else where!
