    Going to be difficult to find a low-mileage used one I would think. Basically you'd be sitting around hoping someone with < 50K miles got into a rear-impact collision. Can you do any of the work yourself? Otherwise I think you have to look at higher mileage engines (possibly 100K+) or work out some sort of payment plan on a new engine.

    Sorry dude.

    ~Do some searching on the forum on this topic, many have gone thru this already.

    ~"ascinder" has one for sale right now...search and find that thread.

    ~Contact "phines", he just had his replaced about 5-6 months ago and did some price shopping.

    ~Since cost probably isn't a problem, contact our parts guru/contact - Merlin at St. Charles Isuzu and see if a new one is available and how much.
