Hello, Brenda.

Sorry to hear about your motor. I good 2003 Box with a dead motor might be worth about $4K here in NorCal.

If you call around in SoCal, you can probably find a repair shop that has an engine test stand. Then, the used engine can be turned while cold, no ignition, for compression tests. The condition of the cams, chains and lifters will also be apparent from the sound they make. If it passes, chances are the motor is good.

Cheers,

Dave
