20B on ebay for 2500

This has gotta be insane. No way this motor is only worth 2500

keep in mind most wanted items on ebay will go through larger price increase during that last couple of hours of even minutes of the auction.

Theres still more than a day left, the way ebay is that will defetly go up. Unless theres 10 seconds left i wouldent believe the price just yet. I garuntee that will go up at least another 500 bucks in the next 24 hours. And if you do get it keep in mind what your getting yourslef into, installing a 20b aint the easiest thing to do...

i dont have the money for it, but i thought that the 20b itself was worth a lot more then that... or is the modification which ends up running the bill upwards of $20k?

I bet it runs as is though. Buy it and run it for a while. Then when it's paid off go in for the monster rebuild. If I hadn't already commited to my 13B I'd take it.

It's about worth 2500, you can't really tell the condition, and if you did get it, it would be a lot more to get it installed.... You know, on ebay you can get a 20B cosmo front clip for about 3000. That would be the way to go.

its normal for the importers to clean the engines off. $2500 is a good deal though

Yes, all 20B and 13B Cosmos of that generation were automatics. They were never intended to be anything other than a GT cruiser for rich middle-aged men. They just came with engines better suited to those seeking more power in their much smaller, much lighter RX-7's.

The seller has 5% negative feedback.
So that means 'be careful' but also may keep the price lower if it is for real.
I noticed every time somebody leaves him negative feedback, he makes a rude, argumentive comeback and points fingers.
Never just says 'Sorry'

Hey guys, this is the same guy that I got my 20b from a month and a half ago. I highly recomend that some purchase that engine. He ships fast. It took like 4 days to get it to my door step.
