Two things.

1.) You got ripped on the engine. Reason: You can get low mileage 5sfe's for $200. Side note: You can get V6 engines for cheaper, and less miles than that even.

2.) The fact that you don't know the total is VERY bad. I assume this means you're paying hourly, thus, welcome to a huge bill in the end. I would try to work out a set price before you proceed if it is not too late.

Good luck-

Now where can I get a 5sfe for 200? I've seen 3sfe's on ebay for 350 plus shipping.

I bought a 3sfe of ebay for $500 bucks including shipping. I swapped out my 5sfe (thrown rod) and it runs great. At the beginning it smoked alittle and had me a little worried, but poured in a little marble mystery oil and that got rid of it. (i know the engine sat for 3 months in my garage.)

I drive the car nearly every day and love it. glad i did not spend the money on the 5sfe.
