is this 5sfe engine a good deal?, rebuilt engine Options

[JasonX]

hello guys,
i saw this engine on ebay (motortimeusa) and wondering if you guys think it's a good deal.
They are charging $995 for the engine, $995 to remove old and install new one. The warranty is 1 year, unlimited mileage. They get their internal parts from TopLine. I never heard of TopLine. I think their website is www.TopLine.com. They pick up my car from my door and deliver back to my door. Work would be done in 7 days. I asked how I know if their engine is as good as Toyota's OEM. They said Toyota doesn't make their own parts either and Toyota purchases from manufacturers in Japan and they claim to do the same. Let me know if you guys think it's a good deal. Thanks.

I've seen a few of thoes though about it but not worth it, its so much cheaper and easyer and safer IMO to get a used genuine celica motor with under 100k, I was priced $450 dropped off to my door for one with 96k miles, from a local yard.

while i'm sure toyota did get there parts via a contractor i'm sure they had close oversight on the construciton of them. not to say "top line" is crappy just another risk.
