wow 85k miles...
perhaps even though only 50k, the car was abused by the previous owner?

Took it to a local reputable foreign car shop. Assessed coolant getting into cylinder 6. Recommended new engine. Old engine had 85k,
put a used 50k engine in. $5000.
We also ended up getting a used 75k lexus engine put in for $3000. Car is running ok so far.
