It depends on the price of the car and the price to repair the gasket. The car will have to be fixed. Take the price of the car and add the cost to repair, if it's still worth it then buy.

Absolutely not! The head gasket is the seal between the engine block and the cylinder head(s). This repair can range from just the gasket to having to overhaul the engine.
