No heat typically means no coolant in system. Take cap off when cold and see if there is any left. Unfortunately, the overheat to cool on the gauge usually happens with a blown head gasket.

I would do it for a hell of alot less than 600 the first step is to have ur problem diagnossed however and then fixing it.
