this cars got 267,000 miles on it and i already spent about $500 getting it fixed this summer im not puttin another grand into, besides the head gasket it also needs a new water pump, the wheel alignments off, it has a shake when your driving, i put a new starter in it and it still doesnt fire up every time you turn the key, plus who knows what the hell else went wrong after i drove it 30 miles after the gasket blew and it was overheating and shooting out smoke the whole time... as much as i like the car its trashed
