You should find out the blue book value, then get a quote for the head gasket repair from a mechanic and subtract that to get a decent asking price. Base value depends on a lot of factors, including mileage and the overall condition of the car.

Goto www.kbb.com and get a base value and start from there.

Good luck.

Is this car/seller trustworthy? Buyer beware.
A car that needs a head gasketmightbe a pandoras box...

What caused the gasket to go bad...over boost? overheat with a warpedhead/cracked blockto add in just for a suprise? Did coolant mix into the oil causing rust in the internals?
Did oil mix into the coolant fouling the system?
