headgasket
Looks like it is time to replace it after 175,000 miles. Is under $2000.00 fair for replacing? They are doing an oil change and rplaceing thermostat and other maintance parts. They are also checking and cleaning the heads. This is a trusted place I am taking it to, I was just wanting to compare prices.

Sounds fair to me. The dealer would have charged me $2400 if I wasnt under the recall warranty on my 96.

I've been trying to get a recall done for the 95s as they were supposidly fixed with a better head gasket, but i dont think it happened. i was charged to fix mine $2600 after only 95k miles.
if you want, email me your vin number. it might help with the fight against toyota. ive pretty much given up though...
