How much is a new 2.5 engine worth?

Yup, the previous owner who put the 3.4 in mine paid $7.5 for a 2001 with a mere 2.5k miles on it.

Your right 10K is way too high, I was think new engine replacement from an RMS failure, and replacement at the dealer.

I am sure there is a big difference of the cost between replacing an original 2.5 or upgrade to a 3.4. I called the dealer and they want $9800 for a new 2.5. I assume $6500 is reasonable for a NEW 2.5 if I sell it myself. No?

The major things going against selling the 2.5, no matter what condition, is that when someone's 2.5 blows, and they're going to spend thousands, they figure they might as well step up.

I'd say $5k would be a good range to try to get.
