I purchased an engine with 74k miles for my 94 Lexus ES300 from Tony in California for $850. I was convinced it was a good buy because they offered a 3 years warranty, condition-tested, excellent-good to go, quality- A Grade. It was a Lie because, the engine is defective. I purchased it on September 28, 2022 and installed in October by a certified Mechanic. Once installed the engine kept overheating. My Mechanic checked into further only to discover a ruptured coolant intake manifold hose. Once the repair was completed my Mechanic informed me that the engine had history of overheating. I though that the replace hose was going to solve the problem but, it did not. The engine continued to overheat and finally my Mechanic said it wasn't worth the cost because the engine was defective. I contacted usedengineslocator in October and followed the return policy for my Warranty. It is March 28, 2023 and I've been calling every week but, nobody answers my calls nor my emails. I did talk to a person named Mark who said he was the Manager and would take care of the problem that, was in January 2023. I placed my faith in this transaction only to be "scammed" by a shady business. I was told that the salesperson Tony in California has passed away so, I guess usedebgineslocator "do not" honor transaction made from another State. The engine was sent from California since I live in Glendale, Arizona next to Phoenix. I am "very disappointed" with this establishment. It is businesses like this one that caused undue hardship on people. I am a retired active duty Air Force member and Disabled Veteran. I invested a lot of money $5000 into my 94 Lexus to restore and now I have it sitting wasting away thanks to 'usedengineslocators'. I have much regret for doing business with this Establishment. It is now March 28, 2023 and still haven't heard a word from usedengineslocator.
Good Luck if you decide to do business with these people. . .
