Rebuild, buy used, or new motor or junk it 08 Yaris

[Tankeryanker]

Car has about 300,000 miles on it. It has been burning oil for a few years now. It's time to do something about it.

Has anybody bothered rebuilding or getting a different motor, or is junking the car the most sensible option?

Thanks.

Chocolate or vanilla.
Personal choice

If you're burning a quart of oil between each oil change, do nothing. It costs you $2 extra per oil change. Drive it until it grenades.

Or get another car and keep it as a beater.

If you change your engine, you'll likely find a bunch more things that need replacing.
