RE: saw an A8 forsale
comparatively speaking, the price of the gasket is negligible. The cost of REPLACING the gasket in time, effort, and labor costs is why cars with blown head-gaskets are generally discarded by their owners and sold for whatever they can get for them.
Your $12,000.00 cost for your 80-90k-mileage car doesn't mention what year it is. Or take into account WHY the head gasket is blown. Head gaskets rarely fail on their own, especially in a car w/only 90,000mi on it.. Something hadda MAKE it go. Either abuse or neglect. You don't want an abused or neglected car. And certainly not one that already needs a couple thou worth of work, which is what a blown head gasket will set you back, unless you're gonna wrench it yourself.
