A couple of months ago I burnt the head gasket of my 2002 Hyundai elantra GLS. I consulted 2- 3 repair shops and got a quote of 1500- 2000 dollars. I feel that its a bi price to pay. The car has 85K miles on it. Any recommendations? Should i check for a used engine?

$1500 - $2000 to fix a blown head gasket, or $3000 - $4000 for a replacement engine? You do the math!

Where I live, most Korean cars are scrapped/ overhauled before that mileage for one reason or another 2002 model may be worthy to consider a trade-in for another car instead (anticipating more repairs forth-coming sooner that you like)
