2001 9-5 SE Turbo V6 Skipped Timing... now what?

Need to figure out what to do now. Was trying to save money and replace the timing belt myself while replacing the water pump. Put in new water pump, belt w kit, and serpentine belt. Got it working; test drove for about half an hour and stalled. Towed to trusted Saab repair facility and now am told the interference engine has interfered and it'll be ~$2.6k to repair (put in a pair of used, rebuilt heads.)
The car has 136k. It was in great shape before this. Serviced regularly (this was the 2nd timing belt replacement). Was going to give this to my daughter who's just started her first job out of college and is driving ~25 miles to work each day.
Should I try to put in the new heads myself and save the money? Should I sell it for junk? (a yard said ~$500) Should I try to part it out?
