Deciding whether or not to invest in expensive car repairs can be tricky, but these situations are sometimes inevitable.
Rebuilding an engine for a Honda Civic can cost anywhere from $3,000 and $6,000. Though the price depends largely on the car’s year and specific issue.
Remember, most cars’ values depreciate by about 20% after the first year, so you may not be able to get your money’s worth after rebuilding the engine. But if you don’t care about retaining value, fixing the engine is cheaper than buying a new car and it can ensure your car works for the next few years.
