(92 9000T / 5sp) I believe my headgasket has failed due to the waterpump leaking. I was asleep at a rest stop with the car running. Woke to find the engine not running and the temp gauge spiked with little coolant left. I let the car cool and attempted to crank it. It turns over but obviously has low compression. There is no coolant in the oil. The engine has about 60K miles, and the car is otherwise in excellent shape. My mechanic thinks it is not worth to fix. What's the worst case scenario and what might I be looking to pay? I need transportation -- not a full rebuild (my mechanic is a perfectionist!!!!)
