I woukd figure out what the jeep is worth if everything worked. Find out how much it would cost to replace the head gasket. Deduct the cost of repair from value of car. Here is the real question. Why did it blow a head gasket?

One of the main reasons the 4.7s blow head gaskets is if they're overheated, they tend to warp the heads and blow the gaskets. If they warp enough, they need to be replaced because the cams ride in them and can destroy their bearing surfaces. Beware, you might be buying yourself a major problem.
