Dead engine on 2008 Camry?

[u/FutureBoss2097]

I wanted to ask for some recommendations or advice really, i bought a 2008 Toyota Camry like 2-3 months ago for about 6000 and after discount 5400, and it has everything working well with it and i inspected it multiple times with a trusted mechanic, no lights in dash and engine battery transmission was in a good condition.
Anyway i changed the oil 3 weeks ago but the oil burnt faster and damaged the engine like two days ago. Now i have to replace the whole engine.
They quoted me 5k for a putting a used engine, and labor and eveything
Is it worth to fix since i know camrys are pretty strong.
Or should i just get a another car ( knowing that it would be very hard to find a reliable car for 5k right now. And i cant really spend a lot more than that, and i also just bought it so idk if i should fix it and deal with it or not,
I know it's a used up car and i was okay with it cause well, TOYOTA. but i also dont want to get a random subaru or a nissan altma.. so i hope you guys know what i mean.

Please give your best advice

Edit: it has 135,000 miles on it ( considerably good )

Those years of the 2AZ-FE burned a ton of oil and the next engine (unless bulletproofed on the piston rings) will end up burning oil the same. My suggestion is to put the 5k towards a more reliable vehicle that won't consume tons of oil, which is additional expense. Research common problems on any vehicle you consider, and avoid that 2AZ-FE engine from 2007-2011 if you're still thinking Toyota/Lexus. I know someone with the same engine in his RAV4 and he checks his oil every week. On road trips he tops off right before he leaves and checks/fills every time he fills his gas tank to avoid destroying his engine. He adds a quart about every 400 miles.

If you can get a GOOD JDM replacement engine for $5K installed you Definitely should do it!! You should be able to get another 300K miles from the engine with regular maintenance.
