April 3, 1885 Gottlieb Daimler was granted a German patent for his 1-cylinder water-cooled engine design. Daimler’s invention was the breakthrough that other engine builders had been waiting for. Previously no one had been able to efficiently solve the problem posed by the tremendous heat produced by internal combustion engines. In Daimler’s engine, cool water circulated around the engine block, preventing the engine from overheating. Today’s engines still employ Daimler’s basic idea. Before the water-cooled engine, cars were practical impossibilities, as the parts on which the engine was mounted could not sustain the heat generated by the engine itself. Daimler built himself his first whole automobile in the fall of 1896, and in doing so, took the first step in his self-named company’s storied car-building history.

Have you checked the average price in your area? I couldnt give you an exact amount since I am in Canada. Over here a quick search showed 4k, which you could easily get about 1800 I would say.
If you push it.
