1995 Honda Civic LX, 4-door, automatic, 151,000 miles. Body in good shape. A/C works. Driver side rear power window does not work. Other routine maintenance done as recommended by the manufacturer. No major repairs needed.
For a year the car has been running hot in local driving with the last 3 months consisting of adding coolant to the reservoir every week then every day.
My local repair shop says the car needs a new head gasket after testing the radiator on several occasions.
The cost is $1200-1500. Is it worth it for a Civic? We are contemplating selling the car 'as is' or getting it repaired and selling the car.
For now it is sitting in the driveway doing nothing.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
