My car is a 2000 Dodge Intrepid, V6 2.7L. mileage: 146000,
I drived it without engine oil check, so my engine is gone.
I bought this car for 4000, and now replace a engine cost me 4000,
What should I do?

LOl sorry to sound like an ass but u drove it without oil?

At this point, u can get an engine swap or just buy another car.

4000? I would first be looking for another mechanic. what a rip off. the engine itself is probably $1000 max and labour can only be $100/h at max.. the job is only 12 hours. $4000 ... wow.. what a crazy ripoff that is. Granted they're not identicle, but my I removed and replaced the engine in my first gen (red) in 10 hours. I cannot see how $4000 is justified.

depending on where he is in the world, 2.7l replacement motors are very expensive for rebuilt units. i've seen 1200-2400 per engine.

where are you located?

There are a couple of people on this site that will do a 3.2/3.5 conversion for far less.

2400.. ripoff. unless it had 20,000kms on it, that is a complete rip. the dealer charges 4000 for a *new 2.7 installed..

If they get a $3000 crate engine, plus $75/hr in labor for 12hrs you end up with roughly $4000... Its not an outrageous price, but its a heck of a lot higher than I would ever pay.

Especially for an engine that blow up again in the next 100,000 miles. (unless thoroughly taken care of.)

I'm in the same boat, anyone around Newtown, PA to do a 2.7 to 3.5 conversion?

I can set you up with a guy that will, and he is good, I'd verify his work.
Where are you in relation to Reading? email me - [email protected] if you want further info.

Maybe that $4000 cost includes paying someone to check the oil in the motor on a regular basis. Doesn't take a psychic to figure out what'll happen when you don't check the oil in any motor, let alone on a 2.7L.
