YEAH...that's a $600 engine. And the car is worth probably $400. I'd just have to wonder the condition of the engine.

Try e-mailing the seller to ask about the condition of the engine. If it is a dud he HAS to tell you. In the description he does'nt actually say that it works. It may have lots of compression but have a gaping hole in the crankcase. [X(] (like thunderbird said).

Be careful, if it looks too good to be true it probably is!

I'd ask him not only questions, but to pull it out and photograph the engine top and bottom.
I wouldn't even THINK about bidding on it unless he does that.

Rody Modified C5: 525... Since it's already out of it's plastic casing, Unless it's prooven that it has never been won... it's not worth a penny over 300 to me. But I don't trust anyone.
If you don't bid on it, I will [>:] Just Kidding

That's for the rody c5 for buggies. It's at least $650 for the rody c5 circuit (onroad). And rb concepts just came out with a new c5, so prices are sticking pretty high right now.
