Get a good used engine. The best way to do this is look in the north
for a car that has a decent motor still but otherwise the car is
finished through terminal rust rot.

You ca usualy pick these up really cheap, like, $100 or even free
on a good day.

A good starting point would be....what kind of mess? Running or not? Runs
rough? Something a mech could look at and give an estimate for repair? I
believe an engine trade-in/replacement would run at least $2500 (rebuilt,
not new). If the car is in otherwise good condition, you're looking at a
ride that could give you several hundred thousand miles easy. I'd consider
repairing the engine if possible, or maybe transplanting a rebuilt one. A
few thousand dollars is chump change to get a benz back up and running.
