OUCH! I would have thrown a $600 used replacement motor in personally. I hope for your sake that gas doesn't go up again.

Sorry to hear Paul. And i too would have suggested dropping in another engine vs. payments.

Be well.

It doesn't say anything about it's fate other than you might have traded it towards another vehicle.
Is the dealer replacing the motor and re selling it?
Sending it off to aution?
Death means scrap yard or crusher.

i don't know what they did with it. my salesperson that sold me my truck said they'll put a used motor in it and sell it. if they do someone is going to get a slamming deal. otherwise once i get rid of a car i don't want to see it ever again. it would be too painful.
