[ENG]- condition opinions?

[mraudi25@epix.net (MrAudi)]

for what its worth. there is a "u-pull it" junk yard not far from my home in
pa. they sell a complete motor for $90, and one with no accesories for $65.
i would be more than happy to find anyone a motor. i have never seen any
16v's but plenty of 1.8 jettas.
