I wouldn't think you could do a new motor for less than 3 grand and 5 grand might be "all the money" as a trade even with a new motor.
A new engine doesn't improve the trade in value. The car is supposed to have a working motor in it anyway and normally 103k does not concern used car folks as regards to anything wearing out. If anything a new motor makes used car folks suspicous as just replacing an engine seldom cures what caused it to blow up prematurely the first time.
Similar situation with performance modifications on trade ins, they don't make the car worth more. Again if anything used car folks prefer them stock.
