Zc Overheating?

Well i finally get it checked out by my mechanic and he tells me the seal on the engine has to be replaced. And its going to be $700 dollers to fix. Im thinking that is pretty expensive. Being i can pick up a used zc for around the same price. Should i get a second opinion? And what would you suggest to do if you were in my shoes? Fix or used zc? thx for your help
