yep so i found out the head gasket is blown and should be replaced as well as the serpentine belt. I am so mechanically stupid that it hurts to think i cant replace the head gasket myself but i need this car to last untill i get out of college so for another 3 years. oh if anyone one wants to know the mileage its 170k now Woot. The people who looked at the car estimated around $450 for the replacing of it. Just wanted to know if this is reasonable price cause i read earlier post about crazy insane prices and then people who replace the headgasket themselves which I would love to do but know nothing about doing it.

450 is not a bad price at all if you dont have the time or tools to do it. When I blew the headgasket on my old car I was quoted at nothing less than 800, and this was on an '87 1.6L nissan with a throttle body injector. I ended up doing it myself and rebuilt the head while I was at it. It took a good amount of time, but i had the tools, a driveway, and a car to use in the meantime... The headset only cost about 80 bucks, so thats all it cost me. I think ours run for about 120.
