    a dohc ka24de shouldn't be more than 150, 250 tops. I've known many that have found some lying round for $75.. but, definitley not nearly as much as you stated.

    depends again on what kind of motor they're selling her (also if they are including the tranny as well). if it's a rebuilt motor then it's worth more than a jacked up and ragged out POS that came out of someone's car that did a swap. there is also a fair amount of labor involved in swapping everything out, making the necessary wiring changes and also replacing the powersteering parts with the proper pieces. add in an ECU, and if it's a half assed decent shop some fresh wear items like plugs/wires/cap/rotor/fuel filter/fresh engine and tranny fluids/filters and other general tune-up parts.
