Engine swap
My 07 TL is in need of an engine swap. Anyone knows a reputable website I can purchase one with low mileage?

Thanks in advance

any reason why? I have no time looking at local junkyard and it appears most online engines come with 3 years warranty.

I agree with Justn. I think you can find reputable places online to find used engines. It does help if they come with warranty, which I believe most places do offer, however, I think it only counts if installed by a certified mechanic. If you do it on your own, you're generally left with no warranty.

Thank you. Yes I'll have a local certified mechanic installing it. I have been quoted installing labor cost is $750.
