it depends on how many miles are on the OD if its a high mileage engine than maybe its time for a new car otherwise a head gasket replacement in itself is not that difficult ( depending on the vehicle) it just takes a lot of time for a motor replacement you are looking at $3,000 or more.

A mechanic told me that once all the crap is circulated through the motor you never get it out , he would not do the head gasket only , Of course people do them all the time .
