it blew a hole in the engine because i kept on driving it, basically... my concern now is because my insurance won't cover car repairs and to buy a new engine is too expensive, am I able to trade in my vehicle for another used one, even though i am still making payments on the auto loan I have? i got it financed through my bank.

You'll only get a scrapyard offer for a car that doesn't run. Go ahead & price a long block from you nearest parts store. It takes about a day to pull a engine. Anudder to swap all the covers. 3rd day ya drop it in. =^ )

junk yard can give you up to $250 for a car. So what i would do is buy a used car engine for 1000 or less and install it. It will cost you around 500 to put it in (in an average auto shop)...
it would be a little more helpful to know the make of the vehicle...

Carrie have you check out a price for a used engine from a salvage yard? and go to your local auto zone or advanced auto parts and ask them the name of a PRIVATE mechanic that is reputable, that will change the engine. give that a try. and as far as your question, depends on how much you owe, yes there are dealerships that have specials occasionally that will do that. good luck

sounds like you have learn your first lesson that is if you have a leak then you dont drive it...... you could buy a new one yes if you got the money and no one will want it if it has a blow motor if junk 150 bucks... and yes you still have to keep paying for it even if its not running or even if you get rid of it.... listen..... car maintenance is the life of your car and your way to and from.... if you have something wrong then get it fix then not later as you see now you dont have a car what might have cost pennies now cost hundreds

The title has a lein on it because of the loan..... if oyu can get the bank to release the lein you could trade it but likely you will need to pay off that loan first.
Sorry to hear of your problem.
