how much would you guys pay to have a blown head gasket replaced on a 93 Escort. The first shop I took it to told me more than $1000 not more than $1500. Seemed high to me, but I had no clue how much a head gasket replacement cost. I'm going to get a second opinion tomorrow and see what they say. Is $1000-1500 too much???
He did tell me that I had an option of buying a "rebuilt" head gasket and that would cut the cost significantly. Still, I dont know if its worth repairing if it'll be that much. I think its days are numbered and I need to be looking for another work car/beater. I drive over 300 miles on most days and really dont want to be putting those on the SVT. Although I have been for the past week.
But I need something reliable. There is a 95 SE 5-speed for sale in town. Might go check that out. It'd be one hell of a beater!
Anyways, just trying to get a feel of what a reasonable price to pay is. Thanks!
