Default A6 1996 water in engine

If the mechanic says that there was water in the engine does that mean that the engine is totally out of commission? Can that engine be repaired by reboring the cylinders?

Or, do I need to purchase a used engine and replace it with what's in the car right now?

Thanks for your advice and help. I don't think that anyone locally where I live is giving me the most efficient answer and I like the car.

Is it worth fixing? And if so... how?
