Unhappy '97 850 T5 blown head gasket.

Hows it going yall, i have a 1997 850T5 with a blown head gasket. just a little curious if it would be worth it to send it to the dealer to have it worked on or sell it. i love the car but dont have the experience, tools, or space to do the job myself.. cars got almost 150K miles.

Unfortunately a 1997 with a "blown head gasket" (+ whatever caused the problem, - radiator, or hoses, and new timing belt, etc) - the repairs will cost more than the value of the car. The car is now worth scrap metal value.

Sorry for your loss.
