Who doesnt love it when they can make an easy buck?
Heres the background.
Picked up an 02 Civic LX on the cheap, real cheap, like $75 cheap. Needs a head gasket, otherwise, its a clean well kept car.
Picked it up to replace the 01 Civic Si I’ve been using as a winter beater. Got it for $50 as it was in an accident and needed a trans, headlights and a bumper cover and also had a rebuilt title. Turns out this car leaked water from the doors [body twisted from accident] and I went through 3 tranys [auto] and even the third was on its way out.
So I made the move to strip and part out the 01 Si. I knew I would make more money this way. Kept the 15″ alloy wheels and newer winter tires for myself, but the rest was for sale.
Today, at 12.30, lunch hour, I took a pic of the engine I pulled from the 01 Si and listed it on Kijiji for $400.
Honda D17A2 engine. Fits 01-05 civic – Barrie Engine, Engine Parts For Sale – Kijiji Barrie Canada.

I got a call within an hour of posting the listing. Engine sold. Great, but thats not all. We got talking and he also wants me to install it in his 02 civic. We agreed on $400 for the engine, $400 for labour, and he supplies parts for the R & I [water pump kit, seals, gaskets, fluids].
Now thats some easy money!
