Normal cost through the company we use at work is around $200. It's not a national chain.
Yeah this car is an SE so has heated seats, height adjustable drivers seat and fog lights,automagic temp controls, heated mirrors. And it has the extra fancy convenience package? that adds cruise and bluetooth that my previous 2014 SE did not have.

That engine mount. Is it something that you had to replace?
After I replaced the engine I sometimes noticed a clunk when shifting between reverse and drive. I was gonna back off the lower mount bolts and re-torque them but I had a mount kicking around so today I figured I’d try changing it and see if it made a difference. The old one looked fine but I haven’t noticed a clunk after replacing it….Yet. Both mounts bolt up the same way. I don’t know if old mount caused noise or if it just needed to be “adjusted” or tweaked. There was a good sized rock that was stuffed in the subframe behind the mount. So who knows what the actual fix was.
