How much fo a complete ABF engie?

What would be a reasonable price to pay for a complete ABF engine? 200, 300, 400??

Seen one recently on egay for 350 but it's not even complete.

 

With the price of mk3 16v cars so low, why dont you buy a complete car and sell the bits that you dont need.

 

I sadly haven't got the time or space to dick about with stripping and flogging another car.

 

4-600 for a good condition complete engine/loom/ecu

 

Bet that was stevens breakers. Mofos, charge an arm and a leg for anything.

 

if i payed for some one to do my abf conversion (wouldnt trust myself with tools) how much am i looking at spending and a ruff time frame it should take.

sorry if its a dumb question. just crap at diying stuff

 

Get to know your local scrappy as well as you can. Yesterday: complete ABF, including alternator, PAS pump, etc, cable change box, ECU, loom and clocks. Spent about two hours getting it out.
Took the headlamps too. And a steering wheel. And three rolls of armoured cable. And probably some other stuff. Cost me sixty quid.

 

Bargain!

 

I got a complete mk4 2.0 16v passat estate with an ABF in it for 300 (means i can do complete 5 stud conversion with 288mm brakes too!), and looks like im gonna get all my money back by flogging bits off it

 

Best way to do it.

Im currently about to do the same with an E30 beemer lol.
