Toyota Camry Engine
Asked by Guru8BP9D Dec 30, 2019 at 01:50 AM about the 2009 Toyota Camry LE
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
Me && My Husband have a 2009 Toyota Camry LE.
The Engine is just about to kick the bucket on us
&& We're trying to get some advice on maybe how
much it would possibly cost to just rebuild the
engine considering it is about to go on us.
Everything else is running good on the car. It's a
good car. Itd be a little cheaper for us to just
rebuild the engine instead of save up for a 40K
dollar new vehicle. We dont really have time to wait
to save up money because our engine is about to
go ...Lol. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated
and needed.
Thanks!

A proper rebuild will be several thousand dollars plus the labor to R&R the engine.
Really ? For a 2009 Toyota Camry LE ? The car itself isn't even worth 4 thousand dollars ... So just to rebuild the engine would most likely cost around 7grand ?
Funny because I was just browsing different websites and stuff online about engine prices and they are no more than 2grand.
Depends on if you are replacing it with a new remanufactured engine or a used engine. An engine swap is a full days worth for a competent garage. Figure $1500 total min labor to remove and replace the new one. So your at $3500 if I use your $2k number. As your finding out swapping engines is not cheap, that is why others purchase a newer car, but if you love yours and want to get at least another 3 or more years out of it, then replace. Are you sure you really need a new one and not something else? Do you have over 200K miles on it? Why spend 40K on a new one? Find a nice used car for half that.

This is why crate engines are popular but not all of them are good quality. Once the engine goes a lot of cars are simply not worth repairing.
