Default Anyone bought from Best Use Auto Parts out of WA?

Anyone Heard of or purchased from Best Use Auto Parts out of Washington? They have a terrible rating with BBB but most of the claims I read sounded like people were not doing their homework before buying an engine or transmission. I spoke with the guy and he said they purchased wrecked cars from Insurance Auctions, make sure they run and sell them as is with pricing based on mileage. I asked for compression and leak test data and he said I'd have to test it myself, but would offer a refund and warranty for 90 days. I am pretty skeptical but I am also desperate at the moment. Any Thoughts?

www.bestuseautoparts.com

If anyone knows of anywhere else to get a 1999-2004 B5234T3 full engine assembly for a swap or a block to do a rebuild I am all ears. Looked at local junkyards to no avail.

Also is it possible to use a 1998 VIN 53? I have seen a few of those but I was told there are some differences that make it more difficult for swaps, but I wasn't sure if the block was still compatible.

Thanks



Thanks!
