That was my first option to look at the price of a remanufactured long block. It's definitely not worth that. The 2.5 engines cost more than the 3.0 and 4.0's. It's like $2500. It's the cylinder head that costs so much. It's ok to put a $1000 in it every few years. Not to mention when I get a new long block other things will have to be purchased to ensure it is new condition, water pump, thermostat, plugs, wires, egr, intakes will have to be hot tanked, all various sensors. Also I noticed you cannot even get a new oil pump screen for this engine anymore. Although you could attempt to clean it, it wouldn't be totally new going into a reconditioned engine. I did refurbish the a/c system last year but I think I paid $200 or less for the whole system. Everything was replaced except the condenser. The aftermarket condenser wouldn't seal to the new hoses so I had to have the original leak checked, flushed, and repaired. For the past 2 years I haven't had to buy anything other than oil changes. I still drive it probably normal about 15,000 miles or more a year. It gets driven more than my 2019 Jeep. It also doesn't look very good anymore since it has a few dents on the passenger side so it doesn't even get washed anymore. Interior is good, with recent carpet 3 or 4 years ago.
