Agree with all.....recently had my ol Baja motor redone by a very good engineering firm in PTA and let me tell you...if it cost R3500--00 to do I could have had all my VW's engines overhauled all at once for the price I paid for the one motor.
Baja runs better than ever....only cost me an arm...ha ha!!!
Spam them with e-mails......they gotta learn!!!

Re: scamster warning
Here's another regular gumtree advertiser touting impossibly cheap "reconditioned engines":
I once emailed him and asked how he could recon an engine for less than the machining costs, and he replied that he gets a better price for bulk machining. He didn't mention what new parts he uses or what they cost ...

That engine ran fairly well until the flywheel came adrift.
I returned to Beetle Connection for a second engine.
When I went to fetch the car the engine was so weak that it was not able to move the car.
After a short while I wanted to fetch my car but for 18 months was not able to get hold of Beetle Connection.
The SAPS found my car at the Pastor next door.

Re: scamster warning
From previous posts in this thread, the "pastor" seems to be the scammer's husband ...
