Replacing a Mitsubishi Lancer engine in Australia won’t require a promissory note to your firstborn, but it’s not pocket change either.
A good used or reconditioned engine typically runs $1,800–$4,000, with labour another $1,500–$3,000, so you’re staring at around $3,500–$7,000 drive-in/drive-out.
A fresh crate or long‑block (if you can find one) can push parts to $5,000–$9,000, making the all‑up bill roughly $7,000–$12,000 once gaskets, fluids and incidentals gatecrash.
Older 1.8/2.0s skew cheaper; later 2.0/2.4s and CVT entanglements can nudge the top end—so get a written quote and keep a little in the kitty for mounts, timing bits and a new radiator if needed.
