Timing belt broke!

Hey all, I frequent the Chevy blazer forums and always get good advise over there, so thought I would try his one as well. My buddy has a 2004 Jetta 1.8t with 95,000 miles. His timing belt broke and basically trashed the head according to the mechanic. The mechanic told him a new head will run $3400 and I was hoping one of you might know of a better solution. We found a couple used engines but they will cost as much as the head and both have around 100,000 miles also. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks
