How come there are so many rebuilt 22re's?

Why is the sky blue...?
Lets sit down, think about this a little bit, and do a bit of basic math...
The NEWEST 22re, I'm talking the absolute last year that it was put in a truck, SUV, whatever was 95. That makes those "newest" 22re engines pushing 19 years old. Now, statistically speaking an average person drives 15k miles a year. That means the miles on those, on an average and statistically speaking, should have 285,000 miles...
Use this as a reference and adjust for an older vehicle. They ARE getting old, believe it or not.

That being said, I can put 700-1,000 miles a week in and that's if I'm working in my home county.
I for one am not surprised at all the claims of being rebuilt. I am, however, surprised at the variance of what that can mean. To me, 'rebuilt' means stripped to the bare metal and put back together.

The rebuilds did not concern me when I bought mine. Its an 86 4runner with SAS. It has 300k on it. I drove it daily for a year before the HG went. When I pulled the head, I noticed .020 pistons so I know it had a rebuild at some point. These things are super easy to work on and I enjoy it.
