hi
I want to purchase a 92 cavalier but the owner said it may need a new starter and head gasget. Should I purchase? Are these extremely expensive to fix?
thanks

Not if you do them yourself. Can you do these jobs?

not even close!!!
I wouldn't have a clue, I have a mechanic that will charge around $500 to fix the head if there is not crack and twice that if there is. And he will charge about $230 for the starter with labour. Jsut don't know if it's worth it or not? or if that is crazy prices? find another mechanic or ...????

Depends on how much yer paying for the cavi too... might wanna have the mecahnic look it over for other stuff.
