Head Gasket Repair Decision

I have a 97 9000 CSE manual with 99k on the clock. My local Saab mechanic shop just informed me that the car needs a head gasket after I had taken it in for smoking and rough idle.
The price quoted is $2300. That is unless something else like a cracked head is discovered and then of course it could be more.
The body is in fine shape with no rust or dents and the interior is in almost perfect condition.
I'm just soliciting opinions. I'm not sure how much it is worth the way it is if I were to sell it, and not sure if it makes sense to repair, then sell it. I do have a 2008 9-5 Aero Sportcombi, so it's not my only transportation but it is fun to drive.
What would you do?
Thanks,
Rob
