Anybody here looking for an s38?
I believe the BIN price is something like $5k ~80k miles, IIRC?
FWIW,

I don't know anyone who would purchase that!! That is way overpriced! ~0
The seller needs to learn how to sell on ebay! Put that start price low -- and the reserve high! Don't start the item at the price you want to sell it at!

Agreed TJ...while that price may be cheaper than a rebuild on a problematic
S38, this engine appears to be in need of at least some maintenance as it sits
presently. Oh well, next, it is doesn't sell as his asking price, sounds like the fellow is going to part out the engine....WTF???

His ad says the engine has 24% to 50% leakdown numbers? :? I hope his decimal point is in the wrong place.
