I guess I could buy the reman engine and sell my current engine and that could be plausible. Engine runs fine just consumes 20w50 and gas at a literal 40:1 mix like a two stroke.

That $650 figure for a new battery is unrealistically low, if you want one that will work. But just as importantly, hat 12 year old Prius also has a asoline engine and all the other parts to fail/age that your Civic has. So you will sell your current car at a loss, then take on a new mystery vehicle and start dumping money into it. I sense that you really WANT to get another car. That'legitimate. Go get it. But your cheaper route, now that you are into this current car for a significant bundle of cash, is to stick it out. Do the rings. If super dark tint is not your thing get the heat rejecting tint (which is diffeent than the cheap stuff) without the super dark. I got 35% on my front windows. You can see through the car, but the heat difference on my skin is remarkable.
Whatever you do, enjoy how you spend your cash and time...
