More oil leak

Like some of you, my 244 turbo is leaking badly.
If I run for like 8 km's I'll lose 2 litres.
When the oil lever is low the engine would shiver at idle.

I took it to volvo today, they said the leak is mostly from the rear main seal. This would need the gearbox to be out to replace. It takes 5 hrs of work and would cost $500+. The engine mount and gearbox mount also need to be replaced. All added up would be more than what I paid the car for $1000.

I think I bought the wrong car, should I sell or keep? I bought it few days ago.
