No oil = blown up engine. 100% of the time. You could install a new or used engine if you think the car is worth it.

2005 is the tricky year, as it uses an emissions system that's unique, having 5 O2 sensors. So you have to ensure that the ECM matches correctly...and maybe harnesses too. In 2006-2009 a simplified emissions system debuted with the VVT cam setup. Be careful.
