It is a 1998 with 230,000. I just need a car to get back and forth to work with (a second car for our household). Approximately 7k miles per year commuting. The car needs a valve job and he was quoted $2100 for the work. Another mechanic quoted him $1650. Why the difference? Is it worth it to sink the money in the car. I would hope it would last 2-3 years for the money. Thanks!!!

You can't do a valve job to that engine because the rest of the engine couldn't handle it. That car is pretty much used up and I wouldn't invest a nickel into it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. adamdrock New User Nov 10, 2013, 9:10 PM Post #3 of 4 (1727 views) Re: Valve job on Lexus 300 1998 Sign In Thanks buddy!
