The engine is probably worth more than the whole van is at this point unless it is super low mileage. Be thankful your VMF keeps you apprised of the repairs. We hear nothing at all about our vehicles until when and if they show up again, and we don't know what was done unless we can see it.
Truck driver backed into my Metris about 3 weeks ago and damaged the left quarter panel and the lower front bumper popped off. Sent to VMF and was there for about a week. Truck driver this morning said they paid the bill of $4000 and he personally had to shell out $1700 of that back to his boss. That's an expensive panel on a crappy vehicle.

Lord have mercy! When the carriers or VMF themselves damage stuff they zip-tie and ductape it back together, when someone else is footing the bill they rake them for every penny!

I've checked some of ours and found them over 2 quarts low before. If we hadn't added oil ourselves who knows how long they would have lasted like that. VMF doesn't do any consistent service and of course they can't afford oil change stickers so we can keep an eye on it.
