To Replace the Engine or Not?

I'm in a quandry and need advice. My 19 yr. old son has a 95 NG900, non-turbo, auto, 133,000 miles. Paid $3300 for the car last fall. Lost the motor last week, and my Saab master mechanic says it should be replaced due to the metal shavings in the engine. I can get a used motor with 65K for $1000. By the time motor is shipped and installed, I imagine the total bill will be around $2000. Will a newer motor add any value to the car? And what's to say the tranny won't go out 6 months from now. Replace the engine or sell the car as salvage?
