I have owned a Ford Flex limited for 3years. 150 000 km when I bought it. Now there is 250 000 km on it. Never had a problem till last weekend. Started overheating. Still runs but head gasket gone. Might be able to find a motor fair price. Do I go new vehicle. The car is well taken care of. Was running like a dream. I love my car. It's a 2010. Not sure what to do
