Sounds like something was wrong with your transmission, possibly something as simple as being low on fluid. Now it sounds like your engine is possibly siezed from driving at high RPM with no oil pressure. I would guess that you are looking at 3-4K for replacing your engine and transmission with junk yard pulls.

How do u know when the engine is blown.. cause i tired turning the car on recently... it wont come on but u can hear it trying to turn as if something is stuck preventing it from turning over... the engine still sounds strong when i attempted to restart it.

That myu friend is the exact thing that happens when you blow your engine, it wants to start but the piston that is cockeyed in the cylinder wont move, burn the car and collect insurance.

If you get a used engine from a junkyard/ebay, and tranny,

your probably looking at about 1500-2000 for the engine /tranny, then probably another 2k to have them installed.

I would guess you'd be between 4-5k total.

What year/engine is your vehicle?

Do you live anywhere near a cliff? Maybe a buddies truck, and a tow strap, and a drive up the mountain?

You never heard of a junkyard?

I dont think junkyards are model specific, they'll take any wrecked car, even an audi.
