Your best bet is what you said first - Autotrader, or a dealership. It's completely ridiculous to look into swapping your drivetrain. You'd likely approach the purchase price of both complete cars just buying the parts.

yeah definitely buy a new car. the swap would be a waste of $$ unless you have alot of time and money invested in your current car.
