Moved to correct section, this is not a DIY.

Others have used Car-Parts.com, I have no experience with them. You can also find a reputable junkyard in your area. I personally have pulled engines from junkyards and used them but you have to be careful.

Thanks again. I didn't see complete motors on Carparts.com, but lots of other useful stuff.

Be nice to find one with the head gasket and timing belt/water pump recently replaced with OEM parts too.

Funny you should say that because my motor needs it replaced but it has 200k on it so I was thinking better to invest in a lower mileage motor.

How do you know that it needs to be replaced ? I'm at 226k miles with original tranny and Motor. And have not noticed any problems expect the suspension parts.
