    Rancho Cordova used to have a ton of import wrecking yards behind Mather AFB. I bought several rebuildables there.

    Yes I found 2 places in Rancho Cordova ca my backyard that had 2005’s engines because I’m sure your aware 05-06 was special years for first gen . You can only use 05-06 VVTI engines on a 05-06 first gen . 70 more HP . That being said they want $2,800 for that engine is what I paid out the door . Stear clear of a store named Lexus Toyota parts its black and red building. It’s like yellow with black and red logo or whatever Toyota Lexus parts scandalous the guy tried to scam me out of $3000. He did not want to return my money to me. He made me go to my bank. It took four months for me to get my money back. If you read the reviews on that place, they say run! I almost had to sue him to get my money back. Thankfully Bank Of America helped me at the last minute and I was able to get my money back $2800. He held my money up for four months. There’s only one dealer I would buy an engine from in Rancho Cordova Toyota store called Toyota Ford or Ford Toyota. They sell parts and Rancho Cordova engines and stuff. They’re good business. I went there. I paid money. I came by picked up the engine. They were about what they said they were about the other place told me they were ready. I paid them on Wednesday. They said they came he said Friday he said Monday then came three hours late. Gave them plenty of time. I get there. I wait for 45 minutes. They never bring me an engine so I called my bank to cancel the transaction and the owner lied and said that I came in person on Wednesday signed the receipt and I understood it was a special order he made up all kinds of shit dude this guy is a crook all the way around , the Toyota Lexus guy his name is cash watch out for that Piece of Shxt! If you need any help with your engine swap let me know man I got cha , we have a mobile mechanic Sedvice we offer now and we have been doing engine swaps for customers on the reg now .
