i could buy a 04 predator that has a sized piston in it for 2000 is it worth it?

sure if thats all it is is a seized piston

but usually somthing else has gone or is gonna go

What caused the piston to seize? No oil? May need to supply some details but, if that is the case, you'll need a whole new motor which could cost about $1500 to redo....

I'd offer $1200 for it.

Then I'm sure the damage is far more severe then just a siezed piston, it just didn't run long enough for the trans to lock up.

I enjoy a good project, I buy lots of blown up junk but I wouldn't give 2 grand for it.
