A JDM engine, even up to 10 years old with 30-40K miles is not uncommon.
It takes about 10 years to hit 60k miles in Japan, and that's if you drive your car regularly, which not everybody in Japan does.
I presume the $80 shipping is the shipping charge from Japan Direct (Company) located somewhere in the U.S. to your door, not from JAPAN to your front door.

just a suggestion. I was going to buy a used japanese transmission from a place in grand junction and also a place called a.s.a.p. motors. I'm glad i checked the better business burea site first because everyone one of these japanese places had an unsatifactory record with many complaints such as not standing behind their warranty, credit card overcharing, etc. How do you know it is not just a washed of used engine. I'm just offering my opinion, if your engine that you got runs great than you got a great deal! Always check with bbb.com before you spend any large amount of money anywhere.
