Does putting in a brand new engine increase the trade in value of a 2003 Kia Sorento ?

I have a 2003 Kia Sorento LX. I had a brand new engine put in at about 68,000 miles. The new engine now has about 2000 miles on it. My question is, Does this brand new engine increase the trade in value of this car ? If so, by how much would you estimate ?|||it might to an individual but not to a dealer. the blue book does not care what you have done to the car.|||When the valuer at the car yard looks at cars that are being traded they don't give you much more for a car with a new engine than one with the motor working ok. But if you are going to trade make sure that they know you have just had the engine replaced. You may get an extra $500 if you are lucky. Also they will tell you that you would get more for your car if you sell it privately, this is very frustrating, trying to sell a car because there are a lot of tyre kickers out there.|||Maybe around $100-$500 if your lucky. You need to understand that trade value is consider as rolling off showroom floor. So it there are things wrong with your car, you take that blue book value %26amp; then you start to deduct the things that are wrong with it off the book value. A new engine with 2,000 miles may improve it but not by much.|||No.
