Default Overheated-worth repair?

I have a '98 volvo S-70 It overheated on a trip (ouside temp was 116)
the radiator burst and the check oil light came on. the car wouldn't start after turning it off and i fear the engine may have siezed a little bit. I am wondering if I should even bother repairing it seeing as a 98 s70 is not worth that much.

It's probably not now...

BTW: the '98 MY was the best year for the S70 IMO.

depends on overall condition of the car before the blown head, and also depends on how bad it was blown..
