No, that makes it cheaper, you can look at junkyards nationwide and have them freight you the motor.
For example, I got a 2.4 out of a 2001 grand am with 22,000miles from a junkyard in Connecticut. The motor was $300 and shipping cost me $180. So $480 for a 22,000 mile motor.
I will caution you however, when you are buying a motor make sure they have a guarantee on a motor. I had another motor similar situation where I got the motor installed it, and it knocked like crazy, they would have found me a similar replacement motor but didn't have one, so I ripped it out, shipped it back an they refunded all of the money shipping and all within 5 business days.
Trust me, I have bought and installed over 10+ junkyard motors into Aleros/Grand Ams.......
