What’s the average car engine replacement cost?

I just came across my dream car being sold at auction. It’s in great condition—well, except for the fact the engine’s blown. I’m so tempted to snap it up—but what’s the average car engine replacement cost?

Sounds like you’re hooked! Here are some averages for having an engine professionally replaced: $4,000 for a four-cylinder engine and $10,000 or more for a larger, high-performance engine.
A precise estimate for a car’s engine replacement cost depends upon the vehicle’s make and model, though.
The price to replace an engine is high, but so is the price of a new car. Here’s to hoping things go well and the project comes in under budget!
