How Much Should I Pay for an Engine Rebuild
Defining Rebuild
Having your engine rebuilt will cost between $1,100 and $3,000, depending on the size and type of engine. A rebuild restores every part to original manufacturers specifications, and may include parts of your current engine. This is different from an overhaul in that an overhaul only fixes things that are worn out. A rebuild essentially starts over and includes used parts.
Other Options
The engine is the most expensive piece of your automobile, so whatever you do, you will be spending a lot. "Crate" engines also are available, which are brand new engines. The cost usually is a little more, but you are getting all new parts and usually a longer warranty. The ultimate option of course, is to trade in your car for a new or different car.
Bottom Line
A lot depends on how attached you are to your automobile, and its overall condition. If there are other major issues, such as transmission or suspension problems, or body damage, you might be better off getting a new or different car.
