Darn. We all feel your pain. Including your poor daughter.
Actually, $2500 is not too bad for someone else to do the job. It is labor intensive and most of us do not have the space or lifts to remove the engine. Your best bet is to try to find a car that has been "totaled" in a wreck. Buy the whole car! You can "upgrade" the engine from a 94 and up to a 98 T6, I believe, but you may need the computers too. Not too sure about the wiring in newer years.
