Dead cylinder

My 1991 Tercel has a dead cylinder. The mechanic said that if I wantto keep the car, I'd have to pay $1200 for a new engine. My decisionis that I'm going to shop around for a used car, and sell this Tercelas soon as I have the new one. This car gave me good services for 4years and half, so I don't regret to have bought it.My question today is how long do you think I can still use it. It'sshaking quite a bit at times, especially when I change speeds from 2to 3, but has not died yet at idle.Thanks for your help.
