It has 192,000 on the clock, and it seems like it has 192 million with all of these issues. I’m a broke student, and needed something for transportation, so this is what I got for $600. Sure, I could find a used engine for this car, but that would end up costing me more than the car is worth. But it’s definitely worth a thought.

That would be the only way you would make anything of this car. To tell you the truth I probably wouldn't attempt to fix it at all with that kind of mileage.
When you pay $600 for a car, most any single repair will cost more than the value of the car.

Bdoom2: Please allow my to sum this now rather long saga on just now known a $600 car with some pretty wild and assorted serious problems. Purchase by first post was mid September, 2019 and troubles since not even knowing where this was going for a noise. It could come and go.
Now the wild oil consumption on a car (about anything) that has 192,000 miles on it. Oh my. It smacks that you've run it out before warnings of that if those warnings even work?
In the mean time the ENTIRE WORLD WAS TURNED UPSIDE DOWN for many! YOU, trying to go to college now either on line only or started that way still isn't a time most people are dripping in the funds to do so nor the time to work was hard enough let alone now.
Now! OMG the world in a mess and a car in a mess. About forget timely anything for help or parts for a fix if this was straight forward easy work.
Sure the web is still alive in fact on fire with so many under "STAY AT HOME ORDERS" is so where I am nothing to do but the takes a hit, slows is still there still with good or bad info you can find when searching in uncountable numbers of sources.
Trying to make this short but as Hammer Time said now knowing what you paid, adding the miles the summary of unknown history this can't be worth much of any costly repair another is right behind waiting - that IMO.
With this changes broke is about certain to be a real problem for many not just students. 2020 car sales must be the lowest for decades up to quit making more there's enough for the entire model year already made. Prices should dump like a rock or those will just be wasted new stock!
YOU like most people need some form of transportation or it done all for you hasn't change since forever to need that. How we as people do that has will morph once again IMO the best I can guess living in general highly populated NE US more things are closed or quarantined than ever heard of to me or almost anyone alive.
See if you can even get this thing sold and out of your hair and decided what are realistic alternatives. Another should (guess) be dirt cheap now or soon.
Can you even get help and parts is in total question to me.
I'm AGHAST - Just yesterday is old news ended up at a Walmart already knew it was requiring masks and only so many (said 70) in a place that could hold 100s! Yikes sport if you are missing this news forced on everyone by any media where are you?
As a tech myself I question touching the box that just came with a part till I spray it with something never mind a car people have been in. Late yesterday food service will not allow employees or customers soon checking for just body temps inside at all. OMG - there are no masks and no coming in a day requirement to wear goggles in these places!
Little problem for anything to function well or fast for now till some time unknown.
YOU need to look at the larger picture of a car that seriously shows it's trouble and was from the get go for you and decide on what you are going to do I suggest repair of this one is no longer practical so change the objective to what's next,
Tom
