<<<I find motors for $100 regularily now due to the
number of rusted and tired looking cars around here
(Ottawa, Ontario), and the engines are good!>>>

I live in Northern Virginia (right outside of
Washington, DC). I called a few local salvage yards
three years ago and asked if they had a VW diesel
motor for sale. They must not be common around here (I
can not remember the last time I saw a VW IDI diesel
on the road, other than mine here) and at about the
fifth call I located one. It was a non-turbo motor
from a Golf that had about 135,000 miles on it. Get
this, the salvage yard wanted $1,200 US dollars for
it! And that was with me picking it up!
