Chris, the owner of this truck and RV repair been in business since 1960,

?

?

called me today to report he found two 22R used engines.?

1.?? ?104,215 miles used engine for $2400.?

2.?? ?127,000 miles used engine for $1900.?

I bought this Sunrader Shorty with 110,000 miles on it year 2000.?

?

Chris said he has 1 acre lot and the mechanics who know such old things as mine, and so he charges $175/hr labor to install.? He will give me 10% senior discount on the parts OR labor, which ever is the GREATER price.?

?

When I told him people in my Toyota Motorhome forum of 5000 members, said they found 22R engines for $350, he said there are a lot of our Toyota motorhomes still out there, and so the demand for these scarce engines get the price that he is quoting (over $2000 for used) and they sell in a day or two.? Do you think that is true?? I don’t think a 22R will sit on the shelf for more than 3 weeks, even that 155,000 miles one costing $2000.

?

I looked at JDM?California and San Diego, but they don't have anything "that OLD".? I need to weigh the price of a remanufactured engine, vs a used engine.? If the used ones are gonna cost $2000, as I have been quoted so far, how much is a remanufactured engine???? I assume the business that found the engine, won’t let me have it, tell me where it is, or tell me how to acquire it, unless I agree to letting them do the labor to install it.?? Isn’t that the way it goes??
