Hello back… what do you mean the engine is not working? Won’t start? Stopped running while you were driving? Have you had it towed to a shop yet? Is there gas in the tank? Any red or yellow lights on the dash when it was running? How many miles on it? Details, please. ---

So, Anna, what is your question? How much will the shop charge to put in a used engine? It probably isn’t worth it to install a new or rebuilt engine. Is this Mazda in good enough shape to warrant spending a large sum of money to repair it? ---

The car still in the good shape I was trying to get another car or engine but I can’t trade in since I still owe the bank for the car ---

Tough situation. I still haven’t seen a question from you. I’d suggest the shop install a used engine with less miles than 184K. That is the cheapest route to get you back on the road. ---

I towed the car back home since I was informed that it will cost me more than $3000 for used one ---
