Not much you can do with spending a lot of money.
Sounds like you did not take care of your car.
I have not had a car go less then 225k miles before trade in.
They ran very well even then but their bodies were shot.

I hate to say this but I would venture to say that it will cost you
more to fix it tha the value of the car itself. The warped head in and
of itself is the worst of the problems but continuing to drive it is
killing your engine. Oil and coolant are mixing in the engine and will
eventually kill the engine completely. An option if you know a decent
mechanic might be to find a used engine and have it put in. You an
ussually get those at an auto salvage yard
DANGER!!! Loose nut in front of the keyboard

Paulie,

I thought car bodies held up in Tejas?

They don't go bad like in Chicago!!! (I'm from Cleveland and spent my
first 28 years there.) What I have found on my uni-body cars is that
around 225k miles the sheet metal start to show stress cracks
around the the B pillars. I had to keep welding both my Toyota
and Chevy Celeb to keep them from breaking in half.
The subframes also were showing fatigue cracks.
My G/A is showing microfractures in the same places now
Also, all the other body things go bad, windshields look like they
have been sandblasted (probably from the sand storms).
Interiors shot, outside lights frosted over, paint burned off from
the sun, minor dent & dings, body parts ripped off & missing, etc.
