Internal engine damage to my boxter 2001

My car has been running perfectly until yesterday!

I saw a huge cloud of smoke behind me, pulled over and the engine started to run roughly. Had it taken to my mechanics shop and they told me the motor has internal damage, it can't be identified without pulling the engine out to determine the problem.

Options given:
Buy rebuilt engine from Porsche dealer - $18,000
Find good used engine for approx $6,000
Pull engine and determine problem $1,600 - X? for fixing , if fixable
Sell car for parts, buy new vehicle

My car is a 2001 Boxter, 110,000km, excellent condition, serviced regularly, I've owned it for 4,000 km (almost brand new)

What to do??? I think there are many very knowledgeable people on this forum, some thoughts suggests would be welcome
