Used Toyota 2GR-FE 3.5L V6 for Sale — VIN-Verified.
VIN-verified, road-tested used gas engines for cars, trucks, and SUVs — matched to your exact vehicle and backed by a real warranty. 0% restocking, ever.
Used & remanufactured Toyota 2GR-FE 3.5L V6 — VIN-verified, tested, and shipped nationwide from our Pasadena, TX facility. Fits Toyota Camry, Highlander, Sienna, Avalon, RAV4, Venza; Lexus ES350, RX350.
The 2GR-FE is Toyota's high-volume 3.5L V6 found across Camry, Highlander, Sienna and Lexus ES/RX models, so we VIN-verify the exact application before shipping since accessory brackets, oil pans and wiring differ between FWD and AWD platforms. A known issue on 2007-2010 units is the rubber VVT-i oil supply hose that can leak or fail, so we inspect that line and confirm the updated part is fitted. Every engine is tested — compression, leak-down and oil check — before it leaves our Pasadena shop. Ultra Auto Parts TX is Houston's drivetrain specialist, supplying quality used and remanufactured gas engines out of our Pasadena, TX facility at 5041 Spencer Hwy, Ste 101. Every engine we sell is sourced, inspected, and VIN-verified against your specific vehicle before it ships — no random salvage guesswork. As a used-engine dealer serving the greater Houston area, we test compression, run leak-down and bore-scope checks, and confirm mileage so you know exactly what you're buying. Whether you drive a Chevy Silverado, Ford F-150, Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, or a Nissan, Dodge, GMC, or Jeep, our bilingual English/Spanish team helps you find the right long block or complete drop-in engine. Send us your VIN and we'll match the correct engine family, displacement, and options so it bolts in right the first time.
Known issues we check on the Toyota 2GR-FE 3.5L V6
The 2GR-FE is durable, but 2007-2010 units are known for the rubber VVT-i oil supply hose that hardens and leaks, so we confirm the updated metal-end line is fitted before anything ships. We also inspect the water pump and the timing chain and tensioner, and we check for the oil-line and cam-tower seepage these engines develop. Because FWD and AWD applications differ in oil pan, brackets, and wiring, every 2GR-FE is VIN-matched to your Camry, Highlander, Sienna, Avalon, or Lexus ES350/RX350 and compression- and leak-down-tested in Pasadena first.
Used vs. remanufactured Toyota 2GR-FE 3.5L V6 — which to buy
A tested used 2GR-FE is an excellent value since this engine is reliable when the VVT-i oil line and water pump check out, and ours are inspected for exactly those items. Remanufactured makes sense if your vehicle is high-mileage and you want the timing components and seals refreshed with a longer warranty. We carry both and match to your platform and budget. Send your VIN and we will give you an honest recommendation for your Toyota or Lexus.
Why buy a quality used engines?
A quality used engine is the smart middle ground between an expensive brand-new crate engine and a risky unknown. You get genuine OEM components engineered for your exact platform — correct block, heads, and sensor locations — at a fraction of new-engine cost. Low-mileage salvage engines pulled from wrecked-but-running vehicles often have plenty of service life left, and because they're OEM, fitment and reliability beat generic aftermarket overhauls.
Common signs you need a replacement
Most drivers come to us after a blown head gasket, a spun rod bearing (rod knock), cracked block from overheating, a thrown timing chain, or oil-starvation damage. High-mileage engines burning oil or losing compression are common triggers too. When the repair bill approaches the engine's value, a VIN-matched used replacement is usually the faster, more affordable path back on the road.

Fitment Flags We Check
- LS 5.3 vs 5.7 (LM7 vs LS1) — different displacement, blocks and accessories don't freely interchange
- VVT vs non-VVT variants — cam phaser and controller differences change fitment and wiring
- Flex-fuel (E85) vs standard gas — different injectors, sensors, and calibration
- 8th digit of the VIN identifies the engine code — always confirm it matches
- Truck vs car/SUV accessory brackets, oil pan, and intake can differ on the same engine family
- Early vs late LS (24x vs 58x reluctor) affects harness and PCM compatibility
