There is a 2004 Disco II with a overheated engine.(112k miles) They are asking $4500 for the car.

How much should someone pay for the car?
How much does a new engine cost?

 

You can get a quality used engine for about 3,250 at roverlandparts.com when they are in stock (http://www.roverlandparts.com/2003-2...y41kmiles.aspx)

Thats just a general price, you can get them for a little more, or a little less if you do your research at other companies. I don't know what BRAND new engines go for, but sometimes a good rebuilt or used is just as good.

As for the price of the 04'... I wouldnt pay more than $3,000 for a 2004 that doesnt run.
If you can get it for that, and bring it back to life for under 5K, your walking away with a pretty good deal for a vehicle that usually goes for 10K+ with that kind of mileage.

 

how mechanical are you?

im with Cam, if you can score it for $3k and plop a new engine in yourself its worth it. Otherwise get a 98 or 99 D1.

 

Cam is right ..tell him $3k and you are doing him a favor. tell him you can get a running one for $5,500.00. Explain when they overheat they are gone... Give him a story. Then go put in a tdi 300 diesel and you would be ahead of the game...

 

A brand new engine is $7000 plus install.

 

AKA... Find a good used one.

 

Good '04 used engines are scarce, depending on what is wrong with the engine you could look at AB for a shortblock $4,500 or a rebuilt engine from someone.

 

I've got a 2004 Disco that i just dropped a 2002 Range Rover motor in it. Roverguy.com his name is Will Tillery he will hook you up. I think I paid 2400 delivered. Good luck.

 

will is the man. he always has stuff lying around def worth a call

 

the 03 and 04 had a 4.6. DO NOT put and engine from an 03 in. Check the VIN of the donor truck
