Peppy 5 spd sedan for sale. Shiny paint cd player , 3 excellent tires, 1 fair 205/55 /15 on volvo allys, full size spare 203K miles. Car run great, head gasket is starting to weep. How much for a new head gasket. Anyways to run this for a while. My state doesn't have emissions so it will pass. Just passed inspection by prior owner. Owner also said oil is weeping from oil cooler from bottom of car near radiator???? He said a weld would cure problem??? Please advise, i have 1 '89 740 auto and this car is much more speedier and handles better.

Many brick lovers would jump at the chance to get a 5-speed turbo.

I would not drive a car with a head gasket problem, get it repaired.

I do not think that you will have to pay much for a used oil cooler, or you could send the cooler for repair during the head gasket repair. Changing the head gasket might be good insurance anyway.
