Festiva Engine from Masters Auto Shipping for $650...

[ajbremer]

I put a craigslist ad up a few days ago saying: Wanted: Ford Festiva Engine. Today, a guy called me and said he was from: Masters Auto Shipping and he saw my ad on craigslist. He can get me a Festiva engine warrentied for 30 days and shipped to me for $650. He said they were engines with less than 100K miles on them.

Their website is: mastersautoshipping.com

Their website is pretty small and it don't give very much information. The man said that they ship engines, etc. to 20,000 different distributers etc. I'm not sure how reliable I should consider them. Any one deal with them or hear about them?

I got an aspire engine 44k miles $400 shipped from eBay.

That is very expensive.... Get a factory BPT then it's a good deal.

I also got an engine on eBay with 80k for $250 (shipped to my work which at the time was a commercial business)
There are members on here posting engines all the time for $100 or less, the only problem you would have would be getting it to your car.

Wow, that's great guys! I'll be keeping an eye out on ebay for sure and also here on this forum...thank you greatly!

Do you have all the parts off the stock festiva engine? If you do you could also easily swap in an aspire engine too, you would just need to swap the pulleys and intake mani. Just give you some more options.

Yeah, $650 is a little steep for a used B3 with potentialy 90K miles. You could do a rebuild on a good core for that. If it was very low mileage or remanufactured, that would be different.

Sounds kinda risky. I would never pay that for an engine that I didn't do a leakdown test on. I have 2 $100 motors that turned out to be boat anchors.
