Start looking for a different car. So much repair work is involved you might as well rebuild the entire engine.

This might be a deal!

Offer 'em $100, if the rest of the car is in great shape!

Then do the repairs...You can get a rebuilt engine from auto parts store, You can find a reasonable shop to install it.
