My engine locked up yesterday and I had it towed to the nearest Toyota dealership because I didn't know the area at all. The dealership says it will cost around $5000 to replace. This seems extremely excessive. Especially when you consider the car is only worth about $3500 anyway. Does one have any thoughts on this? What should I be paying? Is there a way to fix the vehicle without replacing the engine at all? I'm at my wits end here. I need my car and can't afford a new one let alone $5000 to fix it.
How much should it cost to replace an engine in a 1997 Toyota Camry?
