it probably from same alloy

 

Shipping is probably 4 times the sale price.

 

500$ to WA.

 

Buying an engine from China? With a 'warranty'?

 

They have this disclaimer......
"Please contact customer service to determine which shipping channel to use before payment, and modify the shipping cost."

So may not be that $500 in the end.

 

Is that picture actually 1gr-fe? It’s a handsome looking engine in its bare state.

The description say “real car engine”, so I’d buy with confidence.

 

Some sellers on Aliexpress and Alibaba are easy to work with and others suffer from the language barrier. This is from personal experience when I was a purchasing manager. For an engine, I would try and source in the states from a salvage yard if possible.

 

Nah bro…nah.

 

Unlimited km warranty: just ship it back and they will diagnose and let you know if your issue is covered.

This is of course assuming it's legitimate, but just think of dealing with a small Chinese operation for after sales support, lol.

 

What could go wrong?

 

No way in hell I’d do this. You’re asking for an absolute nightmare

 

Good Ol China special eh?

 

It says 12 months or unlimited km. And isn't a long block only a few grand more?
