    Since I replaced my inverter coolant pump, it was totally servicable, I just wanted to see if I could change my fuel mileage, ( for the better ). I am selling this by auction, minimum price is $30.00 plus the cost of shipping ( TRUE COST ). The auction will end on midnight one week from today! I must accept the highest bid at that time. If for any reason you are not satisfied you may return it within 30 days for a full refund, minus any expenses I incur, Paypal, etc. I will also accept a Postal money order. All bids should be annotated on this thread. Why pay the shysters $135 to $179 when there are other options? Please bid in reasonable increments. Minimum.....$ 1.00. HAVE FUN. :D:D:D

    As a suggestion, it might be beneficial to add the milage of the pump when it was removed, and if it is an "old style" or a "new style" original pump.

    Good idea, the pump is the original OEM with 90K on it, still works good and looks new.:cheer2:

    As far as I know, ask Toyota Parts dept. to be sure.

    I bought a new one online for $88.
    Who knows how long OP's old pump will last, but as a point of reference Pat Wong thinks that preventive maintenance exchange at 100k miles is reasonable.

    No, but you might be buying a pump with a short life remaining.

    Just my opinion -- it might make sense to buy this used pump to put on your shelf as insurance, but if you know you have to replace the one in your car now, I suggest using a new one. Keep in mind that the installation is a bit of a PITA

    I totally agree! However there may be someone out there that can use an inexpensive used inverter pump. If I don't sell it. I'll have a spare. Good comment! :cheer2:

    Thank you Andy. It is a fine line between thread crapping and helping each other be informed consumers. I hope I stayed on the informative side.
