OK soooooo.....I am depressed and mortified that my VX threw a rod. :madp: I need suggestions on what to do!

What would price be to sell outright and not fix? Is a green 2001 and has 91,000 miles and no other defects.

Where and for how much $ can I get a new engine/motor to fix? I had a mechanic look at it and he told me $4200! I think that is NUTS!!!!! Am I wrong? Would axion or rodeo motor/engine fit?

Pleaes send me suggestions! We went ahead and bought a van due to having kids and all but I miss my VX and want to see what my options to fix are before we sell it outright as is.
