Can anyone give me an idea of what one should expect to pay for the following (all from 1970 1500 beetle) :

* jack
* complete engine (good to excellent condition)
* starter motor (if separate from engine)

Any ideas would be great - I have someboyd interested but not sure how much to ask (honesty would be appreciated).

Also, if I separated the starter motor, would that inhibit future sale of the engine - in your opinion??

thanks everyone....

I would say, jack $10 to $20. Engine $500 to $800 and started around $70

thanks...

anyone else concur or have different range

(and interested to know if engine will be more difficult to sell down the track if we took off the starter motor?)

The starter motor actually bolts to the gearbox...
so don't worry about it.... leave it..
I've NEVER seen an engine sold with a starter motor....

Best place to buy a VW starter motor & Jack would be from a NON VW Wrecking yard.... they would be glad to get rid of them... so long as they have a wrecked beetle...

All Parts sold at VW Wreckers are at a premium price.....
