Brisbane Motor Imports can do a second hand Import g16B vitara engine for $1450 with around 70,000 kms (they reckon) with 3 month warranty.
Anyone know of anything better available?
Thanks heaps, Steve.

problem is getting them.....

So $1450 for a low kms motor thats hard to find isn't too bad. Personally I'd never pay more than $1100 for one ( same condition) but when you need one and there's none around, what choice do you have?

This looks promising.
Waiting for a response,
on actual prices and availability,
as web site not been updated for a while

Baleno donks are newer and much cheaper than vits.

Didn't know that.
Doubt I'd get one with it.
But could be a future upgrade

Mate I picked up a baleno with 90 odd thousand ks for 200, surely there are damaged vehicle auctions nearby?
