Over the past 25 years, Toyota has consistantly offered an excellence in quality that has pleased consumers and made a Toyota a worthwhile investment. Because of their excellent quality, Toyota’s hold their value well. Because they hold their value well, the vehicles are less likely to be “totaled” – literally declared a “total loss” - out in an accident (keep in mind that insurance companies use formulas which compare the value of the vehicle against the damage to the vehicle to determine whether to junk or repair a vehicle). Since they’re less likely to be totaled, the ratio of used parts available vs. the number of vehicles on the road is smaller. That’s the bad part about the excellent quality of a Toyota.
So where does this leave you, the used engine consumer? It means that you must be even more careful when shopping for used engines. When supply is limited, many used engine suppliers lie on miles. A 100,000 mile engine becomes a 50,000 mile engine, a 140,000 mile engine becomes a 70,000 mile engine, and on and on. That’s where CARFAX becomes important on USDM engines (a USDM engine is “United States Domestic Market – vehicles sold here in the United States originally). At Low Mileage Engines, every engine we sell from the US Domestic Market comes with a free CARFAX which we use to verify mileage. We know we have competitors who don’t provide CARFAXes. Why don’t they? That’s simple – would you provide evidence to a potential customer that you were misrepresenting a product? If you were selling an engine as having 70,000 miles, would you give your customer evidence that it in fact had 140,000? Of course not. You could sure sell that engine cheap though! Unfortunately, for you and your family, getting ripped off like that on mileage is not a good deal.
Thus, CARFAX. If you have a late model Toyota with a bad engine and you’re in search of a replacement, Low Mileage Engines will provide you with a free CARFAX to verify the mileage on the engine as long as it comes from the US Domestic Market (we do sell some Toyota engines that are from Japan).
