20vt need's engine

hello,
im a 16vt owner and im thinking of buying a 20vt as well.[want one of each]
the 20vt i have in mine need's a new engine but he want's £500 and apart from that the car is bang on[broom yellow].
would it work out cheaper to buy it and stick a new lump in or would it be better to just buy a 20vt from somewere else?
is £500 ok for what id be getting?
or is it a bit much for a car that need's a new lump?
any advice would be recived with thank's

£500 is about right for a car that needs a new engine if everything else is fine. New engine would be about £500 plus the fitting. If you can do it yourself its even cheaper.

You should also think about changing the belts/cam sensor/clutch at the same time.

cheer's for the advice.
what's the fitting cost?
about £250?

More. Ring motormech for a price.

thank's buiddy,will do!

I reckon £1000+ for a new engine with fitting once you'd changed the belts etc

wouldn't it just be cheaper to buy a normal working 20vt?

Yes, and far less hassle!
