Trade it in. Seriously I don't think it would be cost efficient.

What he said. Forget it. Buy a used AWD and move on up the food chain.

This might only work out financially if you happened across an AWD drivetrain that was in working condition from a donor car (not involved in a serious wreck). Even then, unless you are mechanically inclined the project would have to go to a shop for the conversion.

depends on the car, some are going to be easier than others. Either way it isn't going to be cheap.

As previously stated, it would probably be less expensive to sell current vehicle and buy a used one.
