There are very few sources you can buy low mileage Used Toyota Engines in United States. Some low mileage Engines that come from Japan are available but they are very limited in quantity. We recommend http://www.alltoyotaengines.com for all your Toyota Engines or Toyota Transmission needs.

Japanese transportation laws are conducive towards availability of low mileage used Toyota engines out of discontinued crashed cars. Main reason is that these laws restrict people from driving more than 5 years in Japan and most Japanese people drive only on weekend because parking is so expensive in Japan and it is worth while to take bullet trains or subways to work as Japan has a very well-connected public transportation.
