    So far as I know, 04 to 09 are mechanically identical.

    Perhaps some one knows better

    Are you asking, can one buy a transaxle specific to a 2005 as a new part? The answer is no, the part number is the same for 04-09. Further, a salvage pull will save thousands, especially if you do the labor. There are possibly a few very small changes that were made starting with 06, but they are all internal. On the outside, they all look the same.

    that is what i thought, but the people at toyota and statefarm both didn't think so becuase the only thing that got damaged in the accident was only body nothing in the engine bay or under the car. it just all happened with really bad timing i guess.

    $1200 isn't horrible, given that the dealership is willing to install a part that you have sourced (rare). Let us know how it works out. Reviews of independent shops are always welcome.
