I would say, it all depends on condition. If the car is extremely nice and you were going to ask a fair bit, it might be worth doing the hg. Like others said, without that done, you're selling a broken car + a broken car is worth a lot less even if it looks nice...
$1000 for a HG job is cheap. Depends what that includes. If it includes parts, it is dirt cheap! I've had similar work done 2x, both years ago. The cheaper of the 2 was $600 in labour and about the same in parts (which I supplied, and could have been done cheaper)... labour included machining the head... the more expensive job was about 50% more (and almost 10 years ago)... nowadays I'd probably do it myself, if I had a couple weekends free (because it's fun and I have more than 1 car)!
otoh, if the car has blemishes that may significantly affect it's value anyway (eg any rust, bubbles, ratty top, dodgy automatic transmission etc), you might be better off to not spend on the hg + sell at a lower price to someone willing to do the hg work (and likely, a simultaneous manual tranny swap)...
btw I don't think your posts sound unreasonable or intended to solicit offers... I'm not interested myself - have too many saabs already!
good luck!
James...
