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.

u can get a used 5sfe with bout 30k on it for under 650 in alot of places my point is i think spending 450 on fixing a head gasket is just too high for an engine of that age...see if at least you could get it rebuilt for round 800-1000 and do everything at once if ur gonna spend 450 on just a gasket
