2002 Neon. Wet.

So I have a 2002 Neon with 58000 km, and I went through a large puddle (about 50 feet long and 6 inches deep), well about half of it, and I was going parkinglot speed, so about 15 or 20, and she stalled, I pushed it out of the puddle, and tried to start it, it almost turned over then the starter went, I took it to the dealer and they told me the engine needed a rebuild, and now today it's I need a new engine, and i'm just wondering, even if the engine did have water in it, could I not just drain it and all that? I didn't bend any rods, or so they've said, and i'm not buying the fact that 6 inches of water would cause a complete engine loss. It almost turned over before the starter went. Anyone have any advice? The est. Cost for the repair is over 3000$ and I just put an extended warrenty on the car for 2400$ help please!
