Theres a known Subaru performance shop a little bit under an hour from me, I called them, they told me they can rebuild mine for about 5k to rebuilt it though they would need to take it apart first to see everything that is needed which would cost about 2k alone, they can get me a used motor for about 4k and labor would be 2k. They actually have one in the shop that they are currently working on, that customer is at 6k so far.

This sucks, this was my first car, I bought it and made the payments without any financial support from my parents. I just paid it off not too long ago and now I have nothing to show for it. But it is what it is. I have a friend who just lost her uncle to Covid-19, so when I look at it like that, I don't have it all that bad. Thank you all for the advice and all who helped me when I first started this thread.

Sorry to hear about your friends uncle.

You can source engines for less than that. I've bought and sold them between 1500-2000. Labor at 2k is.. well maybe normal but seems high as it doesn't take even 10 hours to do the swap and that's at a $200 bill rate...
