My car is a 1995 9000CS with 171,000 miles on it. I just blew the headgasket. It will cost about $1,000 to get it all fixed, provided there are no surprises like a cracked head. My mechanic says he only sees cracked heads from running long and hard while overheated, which I haven't done. So it's an old car, not worth much, but certainly worth a heck of a lot less with a blown headgasket. I was thinking of selling soon and now this happens. What would you do? If I get it fixed, I'm sort of committed to keeping the car at least another year. Or maybe not. -- Tom Reingold Noo Joizy
