Blown head gasket, body excellent, interior excellent. Vehicle has 150k on it. It does get 47-53mpg.....should we invest in a new head gasket for it, or just junk it? I know that the value is low on these cars, but l hate to throw it away.

How much are you looking at for a new head gasket? If the car is otherwise in good shape, I say fix it. If there are a bunch of other problems cropping up (body rust, transmission slippage, etc) then I'd say time to donate it to charity for a tax write-off.

I drove for a courier service that ran these and they commonly put 400,000 miles on them.
Actually, they are Kias.
If you are located in California, I'd take it of you want to junk it.
