I water locked my car today and turned over the car... i might have to buy a new engine or rebuild it.. my auto shop says its probably totaled and a 1uz engine would cost 8-9k is that accurate? for 8-9k i might as well go find another sc400 in the paper or at carmax and see what condition they are in and haggle prices... i havent brought the car to the shop yet for the estimate or see if there is something else we can do so we don't have to rebuild it but AAA is being slow due to all the cars getting flooded out...

600 bucks? thats awesome thanks.. i'm not sure but i think he was including the price for labor for the rebuild or putting the new engine in... i saw someone on here post that a 1uz could be found for 25.-3k... and i really love my car and lucked out getting it for a first.... don't want to drive anything else and I planned on driving my sc through college

turned the car over which you don't do after you stall it in water... it f's your engine up.. if i left it as is and he didn't touch it i would be fine

dont even mess with that engine if it has been in water, waste of money, look around youll find nice uz for less that grand
or total the car, get the check and buy yourself a better coupe
