first off u said it was impossible - it is NOT. second of all, yes i read the whole thread and he bought a salvage cl, which means that it was in an accident and he bought it just for an engine, while others usually buy salvage cars to fix them and sell them. so it would not be "impossible". everything is possible if an effort and time is put -- so its not luck - its work!
and yes, trannies go for 3k because most people, including you, look at the swap as just buying an engine, a tranny and other neccesary items for the swap. others see a possibility in buying a drivable salvage car for 1/2 the price of a swap and taking the engine out of the salvaged car for the swap. while the swaps are identical, there are possibilities with the left over car such as selling the parts off to people in need. so not only u save money for the swap, u "pay it off" by selling parts off - thus the swap is much cheaper in the long run.
here's a thing - most people rather safe time and pay more, while others are not in a rush and save money, because "it takes more time".

ur turn to argue...

its is not expenisive at all!! all u have to do is look around and probably get a swap for a 1 grand. maybe one more grand for install and for 2,000 ull have a k-swap eater!
with it being a wack automatic......
it couldn't be done for 2k even if you did every bit of work yourself.
and what do you base this on? an opinion?
well here's my proof:

yeah, around page 3 there is a price breakdown with a $350 final swap price. yeah i did my homework.
first off.... he found a steal which would be practically impossible to duplicate. goog luck pickin up a 03 CL type s for $1000 that has a working engine/tranny. that tranny alone goes for 3k++. better do some more homework.
Quote:
1k for wrecked CL
-600 for selling some interior
-200 for selling wheels
+90 for axle resplines
+50 in materiels
+ little $ for misc items(vac caps, etc)
Right around 350 bucks I shouldn't say, seeing how I will eventually sell the car for a premium
