Default Cold Weather - No Oil - Engine Blew Up

A cold front hit my area in the past few days. While driving home, my car started leaking oil profusely - the oil light came on, 10s later my engine churned, made some unpleasant noises, and pretty much blew up. It's a 2001 Prelude SH 120k miles.

Before this incident, I planned to trade it in for a new car. Many parts on it are still good - suspension, tranny, belts, new a/c compressor, as well as interior, exterior panels etc... basically everything but the motor is in good or great condition. What should I do now - is it even worth trying to trade it in? Any help/advice is appreciated.
