A new PT-6 engine can cost in excess of $300,000. I work for a shop where we repair them. Once we had a jack fail and drop one. Largely unscathed spare for what's called the 'chip detector' on the forward underside, it still cost us $150,000 to have it sent to Pratt & Whitney to have it inspected and recertified!

According to Wikipedia most of the variants of PT6 are between 500 and 1500 horsepower. I imagine that the price they charge is partly a function of how much power the particular variant puts out.
