A non-mechanically inclined person has an AWD with a blown engine, oil leaks, and body damage. Plus he has a FWD car that runs for now.

You have a very expensive lawn ornament. Unless you have good friends that are also shade tree mechanics, your AWD is toast. It needs an engine, plus other parts, which will need about $3K to get moving again. If the mileage is over 150K, then it is not worth the effort. Part it out or call junk yards.

Don't let this happen to the FWD car. Keep up on the maintenance and it will run for a very long time.
