there is even cossies with knackered enines asking 3k whats that all about
What people ask for and what people get is 2 different things!

I know how much I will take for my 2wd Cos (Which happens to be for sale with a spun big end bearing aka "knackered engine" for £3k).

I can break the car for near £3k and cars with a good engine can break for more, so decent cars are up for high money or they will be broken as its easier to sell the parts. This increases the sale for the remaining cars on the road. This is why my Esc Cos is sitting in the garage not rusting, but getting rarer and rarer as each Esc Cos is stripped or written off!!
