Well, my Celica........died. and I had the mechanic give me an estimate, and it's gonna be like $7,000 to fix it, and the car is only worth like $4,500. So I'm getting a new car. any suggestions on what I should get?

you could probably get another used 7afe for like $500. maybe less. maybe spend a couple hundred more to have it rebuilt. then just drop it in. I don't see it costing 7,000 unless he bought the engine brand new from the dealership piece by piece and put it all together. biggrin.gif



Our ultimate 7AFE only worth that much?!?!?!?!?! frown.gif

don't worry. a 5sfe is worth about the same. in fact, you could probably get a used USDM 3sgte for about that too.
