Good evening,

I doubt it will be the water pump at all. From your post, it sounds like it could be a clogged heater core. Removing both lines and flushing with a garden hose usually takes care of this.

As far as the price for a pump, you would be looking at around 300-450 depending on the motor you have in the car.
