Re: how good of a deal is this?

Cop cars usually don't have low miles, but they are well maintained. It's only a good deal if you can take it for a spin. Try to get the ecm and harness for a mostly complete swap. $800 for all that would be a deal, sorta. Don't buy into any rebuild nonsense unless he has receipts, seems to be alot of that now in days.
