So, my car just turned over 70k miles and I realized I was starting to lose coolant. After a bit of inspection, I realized it was a blown head gasket. I've taken the car to a local mechanic and he's taking then head off and taken a look at the cylinder heads and says they should be replaced as well, and a couple other things. His recommendation is that the entire engine be replaced with another as it'd be cheaper than trying to rebuild it.

At this point, I have no idea what I'm going to do. I like my crossfire, but I'm reluctant to put another engine in this thing, only to have it blow another head gasket.

It's a 2005 NA. I'm thinking I might be better off just trying to sell it for what I can get and buying something a bit more reliable.

Anyone have any suggestions or experience with this situation? Is this a common problem? I've seen a few threads on the matter... I've got to make a decision soon as I need a car and at this point, I feel like it's a total crap shoot.
