My retina display in macbook pro 2013 model broke. Part Number: 661-8153. Apple store said it will cost me $430 to get it replaced. I don't want to spend $430 on this old macbook pro. What are my options? Can I instead put 2012 non-retina display or any other display to it which will cost me less? Right now, I removed the display assembly and connected it to an external monitor via HDMI port and using it like a desktop.

You could find a used Retina panel on Ebay for much cheaper than what Apple wants. No, the display connector for the non-Retina models is different.
