Is that bare motor with no ancillaries? Or what all will come with it?
How many km's on it and any issues?

I dont think people are struggling to sell them because of the RB motors. Its just people dont want to buy a SX cause they have recieved the branding of being unreliable!
I myself wanted to buy another SX again and decided not to after a while cause I dont want to redo the whole car again! (not talking about yours Shane).

Its not that we against RB, i had one and loved it for a street car
but the day is going to come when you are going to sell it and you wont even get the money back for the parts
If you have a BIG budget and resale does not matter then go for RB
We just trying to help you with experienced advice .If the point is to build up the car yourself then cool but you will lose alot of money
