Parts won't get cheaper as the supply of them dries up since there are no new ones going into the supply chain.

What's the perceived "appropriate price" for a used 1.8 with <50k miles? $650 shipped to me in NC (from CA) for a 1995 1.8L with maintenance records/leakdown/compression test results with 60k/miles. That was what I paid 2-3 years ago. That included the intake manifold and CAS but no TB, injectors, flywheel, coils. I've got someone offering me a local 1.6L with 100k/miles for $350 but I don't trust a 100k/mile motor on boost to get a reasonable service interval on it. Parts are supposed to get _cheaper_ as the years go by. I guess I just won't buy from an overpriced junkyard unless I have to. For my car, I'm getting the numbers worked up on a rebuild. Labor is quite reasonable ($500 to recondition the head and block) but I'm still waiting to see what the parts cost will be. Regards, --Ashraf
