if you get a d15z1 (vx) do yourself a favor and get a Si/EX tranny. The VX/CX tranny is the most horridly slow-ass useless transmission on the planet. I know its just for commuting, but the thing wont even drive uphill.

the going rate from a reputable vendor is still around $3200 give or take, but private prices are considerably lower. I got my swap for $1200 (b16).
