Someone stole your front license plate I see. Perfect for cops to stop and sniff. "How many beers have you had today, sir?" (The expected answer is, of course, "two.") Amazing the number of felonies are discovered in traffic stops for this, missing tail lights, and other "probable cause" stops. Why go thru the hassle when some ex-girlfriend (or the former owner) left a roach under the seat? (Sorry that you won't have to worry about this for a while.)

Since the block is pretty trashed, it wont be cheap to fix, even with a used motor. They go for more than the standard used 4cyl. With the price of the S2k going up, if you have somewhere to store it long term that does not cost you much, or anything (relatives house, room at your place, etc), and can store it out of view so the city does not hit you for having a non-operational vehicle in the driveway, then it may be worth holding onto until you can get it fixed. It is a pretty clean looking car, so I know it sucks to let it go.

IDK, blown motor, $5k may not be a bad deal, you may want to take that offer.
