Oh, you're looking to buy it?   Maximum would be $3000.   The $3 grand for a replacement motor is quite conservative.   If you have someone do the swap, tack on another $2 grand.  THe "while you're in there" stuff can easily hit $1 grand.
I've done it,  the car quickly turns into a money pit. You just keep throwing money at it,  And when you're done, you still have an old car.:ah:
