Radiator/blown gasket

Engine Mechanical problem
2000 Vauxhall Corsa 64000 miles

My 10 year old Corsa GLS had a hole in the radiator which I didnt know about, it overheated and blew the gasket head. I've been quoted £650 + VAT. Does this seem about right? Would it be cheaper to replace my radiator with a reconditioned one, and just sell the car on? The car cost me £1000, I've had it 4 weeks, it has a full MOT.

£650 is a fair price for the repair .. you may not be able to sell the car with a blown headgasket ?
