Default 2000 3.3l Major Compression Issues

I previously posted about starting issues with my 2000 GC 3.3l. It starts and runs very ragged as long as the accelerator is depressed, but does not idle. Someone suggested the ECT sensor, so it was replaced....not the problem. Pulled the plugs on cyl 2,4,6 and got the following compression readings...125, 0, 50. Just wondering if it's worth tearing down...240000 km...or should I just thank it for it's years of trusty service and send it out to pasture?

well, can you afford a new car payment?
and is there anything else wrong with the car that you know of? a Used 3.3l engine of Caravan is fairly common and cheap.
