STI engines are worth between $3,000 to $6,000 from what I have seen.
Keep in mind that you do not just need the longblock. You need the complete engine, including all intake/exhaust components, all electrical components, sensors, ECU and wiring harness. If you are just getting an engine the cost of all these other components will kill you. For example, I did not get an ignitor with the engine, dealer cost : 370 !!!! Fortunately it looks like I now tracked a used one down. EJ25 engines are wanted because they blow headgaskets, so I'm betting that a 350 dollar EJ25 will need new gaskets etc...

Also 4500 for an STi motor ? Again make sure it is complete. It took me months to track down a complete wiring harness, and they don't go cheap.
