Keep looking and be patient if it's possible with a spare/2nd vehicle. I bought mine a year ago for around $1200 with parts & fluids and everything else. It had about 135K miles but be cautious of mileage claims. A lot of places will just list it as '100,000 miles' but you know that isn't true.

Yea I was definitely going to get a new converter, not worth the insignificant savings if it all blows up again quickly. The biggest issue with waiting is the registration is coming due in March, so I'm on a bit of a time crunch. Might just have to pony up the extra cash and get the one I was originally looking at. Side question, I just found a decently low mileage 04 4x4 Tacoma with a blown engine that they're parting out. I know a lot of the parts between the two are interchangeable, would this swap be possible and save me from the planetary gear issues of the 01-02 A340? I'm 99% sure that's what failed in the truck already. I really appreciate your guys's time
