I'm not an expert but it sounds s little high to me. I've seen some guys selling engines complete from $2000-$2500 if I recall. Also, what the back story on the setup? Why did the guy pull the setup with only 20,000 miles? Just wondering. Good luck.

The guy says the car hit a phone poll. He sold the body kept the drive train and the rear end.

For that much money I'd try and find a totaled car (and pay less). Doing a sway with an entire car will help avoid all the little 'nickles and dimes' the pop up plus you can end up with spares and stuff to sell.

Good point - if you have the room, get the entire car once the price and conditions are right.

I agree - the price is high considering what I've seen.
