Well, napa has a gasket set for it that runs about $240. I got to drive the car for a little bit around town, because it just slowly over heats. The guy who owns it took it to the dealer about a year ago, and they tested it and determined it to be a head gasket, but like what has already been said, wouldn't know what was wrong for sure until they dove in. I've seen some remanufactured heads online for about $500. While driving it, I didnt feel or hear anything unusual from the bottom end, and seeing how it only has 135k miles, I would expect anything to be wrong down there. (But you never know). If I tore it apart, my guess is the worse case scenario would be a cracked head.

How much would a car like this go for if I fixed the head gasket and tried to re-sell it?
