Question:

How much does a water pump cost?

I'm trying to sell my 97 Ford Escort. It needs a water pump but I have no idea what the cost is. I just want to know so I can post an estimate of how much it costs on the site I'm selling it on.

Answer:

COST TO INSTALL WATER PUMP
We all know what you want to use that water pump for.
ok i looked it up if you have the base LX or sport escort with a 2.0L 4 cylinder engine the water pump is 62.99 at advance auto parts. a water pump gasket is 1.09 and it says its a good idea to replace your timing belt which is only 25.99 all prices are based off of advance auto parts, other stores will vary. and buya haynes or chilton repair manual so you know what your doing. good luck
I checked online and saw Ford Escort water pump for less than $50. But you can always call local auto parts store like Autozone or Pep Boys to get their cost. Allow up to $100 for water pump. Costs for labor are obviously expensive, too. That's what the costs of $300 that some are saying. Consider $100 for pump and $200 for labor. If they actually think that the water pump would cost $300, they forgot that we're talking about an ESCORT!! Not a Lexus or BMW.
A water pump cost between $25.00 and $30.00 in the area where I live or for that matter in most areas of the US. The problem is that water pump replacement is one of the most expensive jobs to perform. A water pump replacement requires the removal of many engine components, such as the generator, fan blades, drive belts and so on taking a few hours to complete. Here is a brief cost breakdown on a typical job like this. Water Pump $30.00 Coolant replacement $15.00 Gasket$ 7.00 Gasket sealant$ 5.00 Labor $ 140.00
