Even though you may replace the gaskets, the bearings will be compromised & it will grenade shortly after. Inquire when, if at all, it ever had it's head gaskets replaced. If so, ask how many miles ago. Also, ask about the transmission & if the car has been kept in good shape in general, then if you're still interested in it, then go see it for yourself.
