the repair of the head has been documented many times over here on the forum, it sounds to me like the car is in fantastic shape and spending 2 or 3K fixing the problems with it should be done.
that said, you could likely sell the car as it is for around $1.5K if you document the problems the car has, a mechanic will likely buy the car from you, perform the repairs himself, and sell the car for 5-9K in SoCal... or up north where they are less plentiful in perfect shape...
Please let us know what you decide to do.
oh, one more thing... has the trap-ox been replaced by the dealership? if not, you may be due a free repair, and possibly a free replacement head (EXTREMELY RARE< SO DON"T COUNT ON IT...) above the turbo, if you have a shielded pipe, it's been done, if you have a round muffler thing there, it's not.
