$1000-1500 depending on condition.

OK, basically the guy wants $2500 for 2007 WRX EJ255 Turbo engine & 5sp transmission (plus all parts, intercooler, exhaust, O2, wire harness, ecu, etc.) and Steering Column, Steering rack, Steering knuckle, Left and Right knuckles (spindles), rear lateral links, Master cylinder and brake booster, and clutch master cylinder, so just about all I need to build the "R" version.

So this would avoid me having to buy donor and doing the strip down and haul away. Seems like an OK price but not a great price.

Depends on where you live I guess, that's sounds great to me. I paid that for my 07 NA donor.

IMO it's a good price, as long as the motor has reasonable miles and the cylinder compression is within specification. You should have no problem doing a compression test with it sitting static and a 12 volt automotive battery and jumper cables handy.

Considering he's already done a fair amount of the work "stripping the donor" I'd say it's a good price.

I did a compression test, cold of course and every cyl was about ~150 give or take a pound or so. I did not do a leak down test.

If its been "rolled" the lateral links may be bent. $2500 seems to me a great price for all that.

2 of them are bent, so will need to find some additional ones.

good price, a full long block alone can get around 2k, look on any subaru forum, that is fairly cheap from what ive seen, but again all depends if everything is in good working condition.
