I just had my headgasket done on my 300CE, it cost about that much , and it can go more because theyre going to find other stuff wrong with it. Is it worth it ? I say if the cars in good shape hell yeah. where else are you going to get a good solid riding car for $2400? I felt like my cars got a few good years left in her so I spent the dough, besides you dont see to many 300CE.

Quit being cheap and fixer up and get back on the road.
