Is the motor bad? If so and the car is in great shape get a salvage engine with lower miles. If the car is well worn all over get a new car.
I do not know what engine you have, but this is an example of how much money you can save.(link below) If you do not have someone that can do it for you, just go to your local garage. Usually you can have it shipped directly to your mechanic ... See link below.

In my opinion,probably not! The rest of the car might start falling apart around the new engine. The car has a LOT of miles on it.
It might turn into a real money pit.
My daughter had an Escort. And once things started going out,it seemed like everything started to fail.

when you've accomplished all those upkeep , if the vehicle besides the transmission issue seen to operate ok ( I advise no longer the variety off a vehicle that receives damaged each and anytime you receives a fee), The body is in reliable condition so as the interiors you ought to guage doing the alternative because the perfect mayor restore and evaluate yet another vehicle familiar to be sturdy at a furter time and asuming it would not grant you with more suitable mayor issues for a lengthy time period that aspect will be reliable to stay away from dropping funds for the subsequent vehicle which with that more suitable funds keep may be even more suitable positive and get as I say the perfect drop out of the Saturn for the money invested.

with that many miles, chances are that not only the engine is worn out, but a lot of other things are worn as well. Trade it for a used pair of roller skates

It has done a lot of miles and there probably would be other things starting to go as well. You should try and get a newer model car.

No! Use your money to buy a newer car. If you like the Ford try a new Focus.

check with local salvage yards they may have a 99 escort that got t-boned with 80,000 miles on it, If they sale you it's motor for 500.00 , and it cost 500.00 to get it put in, I would say it's worth it.

It depends on the condition of the car and your intentions. If the car is pristine, and you wish to fix and sell it, then yes. If your fixing it to keep..expect to pump money into it, everything is about worn out..trans, steering, fuel pump, etc. etc.
Your call.....
