hey guys, my celica is getting a new motor at the time, but the place doing the work said they wanted to know which extra parts we want to replace, which would be quite an overestimate at the time. does anyone else see any of these parts to be way off estimate in price. clutch kit, 279. lower and upper radiator hose, 45 a piece. reseal kit, 355. timing belt, 244. waterpump, 170. ignition wires, 140. distributor cap and rotar, 95. carb gasket, 30. breather hose, 174. transmission seal, 110. temp-sending unit 75. oil sending, 80.... those are the extras that they want us to include. there is something else weird that says sub-replaced used engine with 2.0? im not sure what they are putting in my car, but we were quoted 2200 when starting and now they want 4500 for everything said and done. somehow this is very strange and seeming like its going to cost a lot more than quoted, what do you guys think about some of the prices they quote for the parts.

Jen, it's 1900 for the rebuild and the rest for labor for taking it out and puting the engine back into your car. And that's pretty high for a rebuilt. I got a quote of 2600 for rebuilt including forged pistons, polishing, etc. and that included the labor. But I dont think rebuilding 7AFE is worth it unless I really have to do it (turbocharge baby!). But yeah, you could get a nice mileage 5SFE for around 400-600 and its like 600 for install labor.
