That's right... the engine, and RE&RE combined with fresh oil, antifreeze, was $300 total out the door. This was back in 1996-1997ish. This was about a week's worth of my wages working on a cranberry farm.

I wonder if you had a 10 year old car in 2024, say a 2014 Toyota, and if you needed a new engine plus RE&RE, how much it would cost? Probably a wee bit more than 1 weeks of wages...
I got a refurbished V6 dropped in my car in like 2006ish. Cost me $800.


I heard they're coming out with a new RX7, too, but.. the rotary engine is just for charging the electric motors lol.
