These are hard to come by... any input will be appreciatedI've wondered how easy or hard it would be to find a replacement engine if I should ever need one. Wish I could help, but best of luck in finding one. Did you blow yours? If so, how, and what mileage? And hey, I grew up in Thousand Oaks. Small world. Not a very helpful world, but a small one

the 2zz is in a few other cars in case you didn't knowCelica GT-SCorolla XRSMatrix XRS

No kidding... a small world after all. my vibe had about 85K on it when it went. or when I killed it. advice to all- don't down shift into second when your doing about 70mph in a poor attempt to save your brakes. You will destroy your car but, thank god, your brakes will be just fine. You could call it blown

thanks. yeah I am aware of the various applications of this motor. With so many applications you would think they would be easier to find.

Check out Car-Part.com. I found mine (1zz) with only 4k miles for $800 at a local parts shop.

You don't wanna be paying for a lotise engine. Yeah they're all the same engine, but the sportier the car, the more expensive it's gonna be.

Thanks. It looks like I might have found one through car-part.com. I guess I will know for sure when I can speak to someone on monday. They are asking $2,000 for a 2zz with 58K from a matrix.

The folks at carparts.com sounded a bit shadey to me. I basically got the impression that they advertise engines like they have them in stock. When they get a buyer is when they actually begin to look for that engine. Hopeless
