Why don't you just fix it? Unless you want an American car, there are just no sports cars left under 60k.

If you like your car, than you should fix it! It's not that hard.

You need to send in the head to the shop for pressure testing, milling, etc. While it will cost you a bit it is worth the money

It's only a necessity if it's a MHG... Having the head cleaned up and pressure tested is always a good idea, regardless of what gasket is used. Fortunately, most shops won't charge a large sum of money for the service

Of course it'd be smart to have it checked and made sure theirs no warpage. But unless he is using a mhg theirs no need to have it resurfaced unless he wants too..
