A family friend of ours has a 2011 Kia Optima hybrid with about 130k miles, engine blew a few weeks ago. The dealer wants around $10k to replace the engine.
What's the going rate for a non-dealer shop to take care of this? I see there are a bunch of these engines on car-part.com for around $2500. She'd like to keep the car longer and I wonder if a junk yard motor from a 2011-2012 would just leave her in the same place she is now.
Is there a reputable online supplier of reman engines that a BITOG'r can recommend? This has the 2.4L Theta II MPI. Thanks!
