Is It Worth Replacing the Engine in a Car?

Replacing the engine in a car can be a significant decision, but one rule of thumb to keep in mind is that a new engine should ideally last as long as the original did. For example, if your car's original engine lasted 200,000 miles, you can expect a new engine to last a similar amount of time.

The cost of replacement largely depends on the type of engine; a new four-cylinder engine typically costs around $5,000, a V6 engine around $6,000, and a V8 engine around $8,000, although these prices don’t include labor or any upgrades. In many cases, opting for a rebuild can be more affordable, often costing as much as half the price of a new engine. However, if the engine is excessively worn, replacing it may be the better choice.

While car insurance generally does not cover the cost of engine replacement due to wear and tear, it will cover the cost if the engine is damaged in an accident, provided you have full coverage. However, if the insurance company deems the car’s value too low to justify the repair, they may offer to pay for a replacement vehicle instead. Reach out to us today to discuss your best option.

Is It Worth Buying a Used Engine?

Buying a used engine can be a cost-effective alternative to purchasing a new one or opting for an engine rebuild. In most cases, an engine rebuild will save you more money than both engine replacement options. However, the overall cost, including parts and labor, should be considered, and the advice of a trusted mechanic will be crucial in making the right decision. A used engine with a warranty can offer performance similar to that of a new engine, though the warranty period will generally be shorter due to the engine's used condition. 

While new car engines are designed to last 100,000 miles or more with proper maintenance, the lifespan of a used engine depends on factors like its mileage, how it was driven, and how well it has been maintained. A used engine could potentially provide another 100,000 miles of service, or it could fail much sooner. Ultimately, replacing a damaged engine with a used one may extend the life of the car, but it will not significantly impact its value, either increasing or decreasing it. Call or text us today to see if a used engine is the right choice for you.
