Hello I have the above car , with a blown head gasket the car it self is only worth $3000, do you think it is worth getting fixed?.
Also what would be a round about price t replace a head gasket?.
Thanks

If it was mine, I think I'd cut my losses and sell it as is, maybe to a mechanic or someone who can repair it themselves.
The problem you have is that to repair it properly, you are looking at spending the value of the vehicle and as it's presumably been overheated, there could still be further problems in future. A second hand engine may be an option, but as this model was prone to headgasket and cooling system problems, you don't know for sure if the engine you're fitting will last.
You're still likely to get a few hundred at least for it in its current state, money which could be put towards another car.
