  1. I understand where you're coming from. I don't know what I'll end up saying to a buyer. If it sounds fine after thousands of km's driving from now I'm not gonna say, "oh by the way, I ran it without oil for a couple of minutes about a year ago." No one would then buy it regardless of dmg being there or not. I'll probably sell it off fairly cheap when the time comes anyway.... not a whole engine replacement cheaper, but 1000+ of market price. Thanks for the posts.
  2. You're very judgemental assuming I would sell it to someone if it was showing any signs of dmg. I would tell them and sell it cheap if that was the case. Or I would simply fix it. At the moment the mechanic has said it's quiet and might be fine. So if I drive it without problems until I've saved for the upgrade and then sell it off, good for me. I wouldn't do what you're accusing me of, so you should watch your mouth!
  3. thanks for the replies. I'm thinking I'll take my chances with it and keep the money saved so I can fix it if needed. If it continues to run well for 6months+ I'll sell it cheap I guess. I'd like to upgrade to a TRD later this year :)
  4. Hi, any helpful opinions appreciated. Long story short..... A rock busted my sump :/ .. would have been running low on oil by the time I arrived at destination, (I noticed it sounding a little noisy.) 2 days later I start the car to leave and it's noisy... a few minutes later it goes back to normal, but I turn it off realising it's got no oil in it :/ Gets towed and is sitting in workshop. There is some dmg of course, but the mechanic said it 'might' still run ok... So now I have a choice of getting a cash settlement for the amount quoted to replace the engine with a second hand one, or I can just pay the excess and anything needing doing now and in future will be at the cost of the insurance agency. I'm thinking of taking the cash settlement and hope for the best but I'm not sure if it's gonna be wise in the long run.. what do you think? Note; The engine is sounding relatively quiet again after patching the sump and refilling with oil. Thanks.
  5. Hi, I'm having trouble finding second hand aurion engines and would also like to know how much a new one is (if toyota sell engines as a whole and not just parts.) Thanks.
