hi i have a 2001 Chevy prism lsi ,it have been making loud ticking noises especially in reverse and it burns a quart of oil a week or more.there's lots of black resido on the back of the vehicle from the exhaust .my family mechanic said i blew a rod and there was metal pieces in the oil and i need a rebuilt or new engine i got quoted 1500 for a rebuild and 1800 for a new one both with 6 year warranty, to me to good to be true. im just worried about getting a shady engine and mechanic and the devaluing the car. got offered 500 for the way it sits. should i sell and just get a new one and dose a rebuild or a new engine devalue the car?
