AMG 55 Engine. Is it a good deal?

Hi
I would like to ask your opinion about a purchase.
Is an AMG 55 supercharged engine with the transmission a good deal at around 10.000.-USD?
What do you think?
I'm not familiar with the market value of it , so that's why I ask this.
There is less then 20k miles on the engine, with documents.
Thanks for the answers.

sounds good, call a dealer and ask them the retail price, then go from there

Hi
I receive all the wiring harnesses, the climate compressor , the steering box.., everything which comes out of the engine bay BUT!! I will not receive the computer.
Now the Question is , if I can get a Computer for them for an affordable price as well.
Is ist possible to get the computer separately ???
Thanks for the Answers

There is a beautiful black 98' C43 for sale in my town. It has brand new 18" monoblocks, new tires, and the paint and interior are perfect. The car has 130,000 something miles on it. With that said they are asking $12,500.

That + the engine/SC/Tranny you are looking at for $10,000 would be truly insane and very unique. You'd be looking at $20,000 to $25,000 probably once all is said and done.

If I had not already purchased a low mile C43 I would be doing this. Kinda wish I had actually...........

Yes u can get the ECU from the dealer separate but I'm thinking that by the time you install,purchase and buy all this stuff you probably could have purchased a 99 w210 E55(ebay) and use a 1st gen HPS S/C.Or if u want a smaller car purchase a C32 off ebay for a very good price.Again what car are u planning on installing this stuff in?
