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.

ya guys i got an update with whats going on. it appears that the long block they have is a 2.0 liter and will fit no problem with parts from the old engine. talking to the mechanic, which was a nice guy btw, said that it has no problems mounting and that you cant tell the difference between the way the old and new engines look. I asked if he had an engine code only to find out that he didnt, so i was dissappointed right there and then. they said that the all the parts they use are from napa and that they are higher quality than most dealerships, which is probably not true. anyway he said that bare minimum I would have to get reseal kit so the engine doesnt leak oil lol. a new timing belt, clutch, tranny seal and the water pump. they have 3 yr warrenty on the engine but its pretty much bs cause if i fix something that is easy to obtain they want an arm and a leg for a part. im not sure what to do at this point cause me and my parents are like 3/4 1/4(me) as far as paying for this so either i suck it up and pay the 4500 they want to fix everything or tell them that i can replace this, and that and that and some other things to get the car running again. for 4500 i could of had someone hear put a 3's in for me and i could be really happy customer. hopefully i can get deeper into this and find some agreement for these money haglers.
