I got the 2 engines pictured earlier from a junk yard 2 miles from my house. Both are from 2002 Acura TL Type S donor cars, both have around 80k miles. The junk yard had them listed on car-part.com for $250 plus tax plus a $100 core fee for each. By buying both, I got him to cut the core charge in half. I then got one of his guys to deliver them to my house for another $20. All in, it was $330 per engine delivered.
It would have been nice if it had accessories, but most you see for sale usually come without accessories or harness and a few of the sensors almost always get broke when they pull the harness. I spent another $340 on Alternator, Compressor, harness, bolts and belt to install the accessories, and 2 broken sensors.
