How much does a car engine cost?
I'm looking to replace the engine in my 2001 Toyota Corolla. How much does a car engine cost to replace?

Good question! The price of a new engine can vary depending on the vehicle, engine size, and whether it is new or used.
In the case of an early-2000s Corolla, a used engine should be pretty cheap and easy to come by, ranging between the $400-$700. If you know how to replace the engine yourself, then that’s all it should cost.
But if you need a mechanic to do the work for you, expect to pay more. You will likely be quoted for
10 to 12 hours
of work by a service shop, and hourly labor rates range between $90 to $150. To get the exact cost to you, find an engine and mechanic and add their two costs together to get an accurate number for your total replacement price.If you want to save money on insurance for your Corolla after giving it a new engine, download the
