Greetings all
I have been offered a P38A in reasonably good condition but with a damaged engine for a $1000, I am not sure what the air bags and HVAC components are like as I can't start the engine, while my vehicle requires a few parts it certainly does not require some of the ones that are on this vehicle.

My query is, do you think the price is OK and should I purchase it as a ready source of parts for mine if needed, storage space is not an option.

Best regards and thanks in advance

If it's the same spec as your car, grab it.
If it's not the same spec & you have a HSE, then some of the mechanical bits are not the same (different gearbox, rear diff) so you need to weigh that up.

Put your location in your profile so we can see where you are. Someone close to you may be able to go halves with you. Like me.

Sounds like a good buy, and your a little bit far from me but not too far - whats the problem with the motor?

Not too sure I will try to find out it is a 4.6 HSE
