Default What's a huge *** Garrett Diesel turbo worth?

There is a local store that sells the most random ----. I walked in there yesterday and there's a brand new huge-*** Garrett turbo for $300.

Looks like it's either for an 18 wheeler truck or some type of earth moving equipment.

I wrote down the part # but lost it so I'll have to go by there again. I know there's a huge lack of info here, but ballpark what do you think I could get for this thing if I were to buy and sell it?

They also had an 18 wheeler radiator NIB for $200. The thing was big enough to make a couch out of and looked like it weighs 100-200lb.

If it's brand new, I would say that is an awsome price.

remember just cuz its huge doesnt mean ----

Turbos follow the rule of supply and demand. If nobody wants it its worth nothing.

Thats true about the supply and demand. Im just poor and always looking for ways to get extra cash.

Oh yeah, the place also had 3 Honda dizzy's NIB for $116 each. Not sure what they went to but look like A6 dizzy's. They could theoretically be remans not sure.

They also have some super-high-quality generic wiring harnesses. Only they just have ones with female ends and no matching male ends. I could do so much with them bitches.

take the part # to a deisil truck shop and see if they can identify it and tell you how much u can get for the core... i got a like 97-99 chev van turbo at a junkyard, and i got 1300 just for the blown core, i was like wow, i just wanted to rebuild it, but they needed one, and i got it for like 100, so iwas down.. maybe somthin like that might happen, check the #'s and it might be worth quite a bit, or run it

Ya, but my brother in law who is a diesel mechanic has shown me some of the prices for the frieghtliner turbos. That ain't nowhere near 300.00 The thing is that only a Truck shop would want that and good luck getting them to buy it from a kid off the street.
