Oil pump question for my 7mge

[phoenix6]

Im about to be in that area of the motor, I wanna replace my oil pump. Is getting a used one from someone on here a safe idea or is that just dumb? I CAN get a new one but for $200 its steep. Are there parts I can replace to make mine like new?

Im not too savvy about this part of the car, enlighten me, please.

K, Any brands to steer clear of?

The Togo pumps are marketed as a high volume pump...it's really just a std output pump. They work fine, but don't pay a premium for it.

can I get toyota from anywhere other than a dealership? (IE, Online?)

Jay Marks Toyota, Titan, HPF, PM me, and I am sure 3 or 4 other "Supra" parts online sites sell them.

Get it from Toyota. Jay Marks is a good choice, or a number of other dealers also sell stuff cheaper online. For a new N/A oil pump from a dealer, you're looking at about $165.
