Repair costs are going to vary based on what they find when they open it up. In addition to just the head gaskets the cylinder heads or block could also be warped or cracked.

In general there's only 3 reasons people sell/trade vehicles.
1. They're the type of person who ONLY keeps vehicles a couple years/xxmiles.
2. They had some lifestyle change that they no longer required said vehicle.
3. It has some problem they don't want to pay to have fixed.

Buying something from someone known to change vehicles on a regular schedule whom maintains them meticulously in that time period is your best bet.
Buying from someone who had a life change that caused them to sell/trade might get your something decent, it might not.
But the majority are someone else's problem that got sold/traded because it was failing.

I will add most one owner vehicles that are 2-3 years old are most likely from a private lease or a former rental.

Same thing with my sons 2017 he recently purchased and he was told it is the lh head gasket and the warranty company doesn't consider this drivetrain? Since I see this is a ongoing problem and he got denied the warranty work it's just crazy. Because honestly I warned him to not buy one and stay away from anything from chrysler. But he's a grown sheriff with 3 kids now and out of his van that he needs. He recently bought it and it had this problem from the first week. I asked him to take it back to them and say "no way" because it had a warranty he delayed and got denied on a scam warranty company. I feel bad for him and his family but I guess he's going to keep paying the payment and pay for the repairs which is insane to me. I really hope that dealership and warranty get what's coming to them! It's just to frustrating for me to get involved in this cluster.

Did he get the Chrysler Maximum Care Warranty
Or some 3rd party warranty?
