The four cylinder Fiero engine has a bad problem with cracking the cylinder head. If the gasket is bad it is likely the head will need an expensive repair.

If the car has the V6 engine it is possible to just replace the gasket

The real question is how good was the engine before the gasket failed?

Should it be rebuilt or was it not burning oil and in good condition before the failure. Did the gasket failure cause any damage to the engine?

I have a car I paid 1000 for and put in 1000 towards fixing up. Motor blew head gasket. Do I buy a rebuilt motor installed for 1500 or spend that money on a different used car?

Neither. Have a new head gasket installed. That is assuming you did not completely ruin the engine by continuing to drive it after the head gasket blew. If you did indeed ruin this engine, then the decision should be based on what the car is worth in the first place.
