i have been searching hi and low for a replacement engine for my 03 maxima and it seems for an engine from years 02-03 are running around $1,100 and 2004 and 06-08 engines are running about $1,300.but my question pertains as to why when i look at the 2005 engines i can get them for around $600.00 to $700.00,is there something in this year of engine that i should be concerned about or what could be the deal with it being a much lower price?i have found 2-05 engines one with 51k miles for $700 and another with 77k miles for $600.00,thanks for any help.

i have searched and i know about the stuff like that that needs swaped i just didnt know if there was any other thing special about the 05 engine.

 

Nope except run the vin on it and make sure its outside of the timing chain tsb or that it has been done.
