Would you pay $1600 for a used engine

I called a local engine rebuilder they said , Installing a used engine $1600 ( $1440 US) or $2200 ($1980) for rebuilt.

What would you do, To me it doesn't make much sense paying $1600 for a used engine. later

Well since you live in Cananad, everything is expensive.

If the engine cost is for 1600$, and includes installation and has low miles(50K or under) then yes its worth it.

I'd charge about $1000-1500 just to install the motor in a FWD car.

Shop around, you can probly find one cheapr but you get what you pay for.

Good Hunting!

I did ask a local GM dealer and they said it was a 12 hour job plus parts at $125 per hour that works out to $1500 ( $1350 US) You are not that far off. I guess $1600 for engine and labour sounds fair.

No fun at all droping the motor and trans :grinno:

Ya Max I assumed it was a 3.1 for a GA :dunno:

The amount sounds fair to me especially since it includes the installation. If that was just for the engine then it would be quite expensive.
