yes the dohc ej25s blow them every 100k, but the sohc i believe arent as bad. how many miles does the one have that your looking at? also check if it has the time chain and water pump changed.

I fix fah joo :smt023
Also, take a look at the overflow tank to see if it's discolored. That usually shows that they've been done -or- are going.
Drive it for about an hour. With a bad headgasket in these cars, they sometimes don't start overheating right away.
