Spoke with a JunkYard salesman (sp?) and he told me, if ther is a low millage on, he'll buy it back, like a discount. If you someone who want that engine, give for a good price. (higher than what yuo were offered, but less than the junkyard). <P>If you don't know what to do with it, well, it won't be of use in a backyard, so trade it to the junkyard.<P>My 2 cents.

Does the mx-3 V6 motor fits in the older 323 with no problem? Because if it is, I might do the same exact thing, and maybe even sell the car as a "racer" to make some money... :)
Check out my ride and leave some feedback please!
