How much does it cost to fix a blown engine?

Question

The car is a 1997 Ford Aspire...and the engine has completely blown...Around how much do you think that will cost?

Answer 1

I blew two in five weeks!! I had a 1997 Buick Century. I was lucky enough to get a rebuilt engine, and the total bill to have it fixed was $1300. The engine itself was $500.

Good luck!!

Answer 2

What do you mean "completely blown". If it's just the head gasket (which blows quite frequently) it shouldn't cost more than half a grand.

The car is kind of crappy, so depending on whether your engine itself really did blow up, the shop might either pull another one from the junk yard, try to rebuild yours, or order another factory rebuild. Either way, make sure its not a headgasket, those don't cost much to replace, just a bit of labor.

Answer 3

Labor at a dealer is now close to $100 p/hr. The engine could cost $1500 and then there's the fuel injection that could be another $1500 plus another $1500 for mechanics work! Buy another car!

Answer 4

You're probably better off buying a new car considering it's a Ford Aspire.

Answer 5

4,000 and under to have it replaced at a engine exchange shop a re-manufactured neon motor runs between 32.00 and 4k with a 2 year warranty

Answer 6

it just depends, you can get the one rebuilt with some extra parts from $600. to $1200. or you can just put a new or rebuilt engine in it from $900. to $2500.

Answer 7

However much it costs to buy a new car. Don't bother in a car like that; you might as well buy another car.

Answer 8

DEPENDS ON IF YOU GET A USED MOTOR FROM THE JUNK YARD OR A NEW CRATEMOTOR.ANYWHERE FROM 700 TO 1200 BUCKS.
