New Head Gasket, How many more miles can it buy you 700 1987

posted by  someone claiming to be padifonzo on  Wed Nov 29 14:33 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Please help with suggestions or advice. My '87 740 volvo 5 speed turbo wagon was totaled in an accident recently. It had 270,000 miles.

Three months ago my husband installed a new head gasket and new wiring harness. Because the insurance company based its valuation

on recent adds for Volvo sedans with auto transmissions, severely taking off for the high milage, we were offered $2000.

I am not accepting their offer because the car was in great mechanical shape and I believe worth much more than $2000.

Given the car has a new head gasket can this car reasonable be compared to one with less milage?

If so how much less would be reasonable. Thanks for your input.
