To swap the entire motor, you mean? Or do you mean swapping out the car, itself? ... because that would be about as simple as posting another CraigsList ad and letting some other poor sap tackle that mess.
Usually pulling the motor/trans on any FWD car involves removing both wheels, disconnecting the CV shafts, motor mounts, electrical harnesses, throttle/shift linkages, and exhaust, then dragging that sucker out the top with an engine hoist. Some dudes can have it done and over with in a few hours; someone like me, it'd take me all friggin' weekend to even pull it, and another weekend to reinstall it. Hope you've got a nice garage, or at least plenty of yard space, and some kind of engine hoist and an engine stand, if you want to tackle something like that; otherwise, you're probably better off either biting the bullet and paying a shop to do the rebuild (if you feel the car is worth pouring that kind of money into) or ditching it in a for sale ad and taking the loss.
for the little red wagon in the last pic!
