If the red oil light was on and you were still driving it, then yes, I would say the motor is definetly destroyed. Also, if the red oil light suddenly came on and then the motor stopped then again yes, I would say the motor is destroyed. A used motor installed should cost you $2500 to $4000 depending on the mileage of the motor you are replacing it with and the mechanic you get to install it. If the car is in great shape, then I would invest the money, but if it has seen better days, then I would just invest the $2500 to $4000 in a different car.
