Unhappy Cambelt - snapped (v70r awd)

Morning,

Driving along the M6 yesterday, my v70r dumped its coolant.
I was driving along, coolant light came on, temp was fine, trying to pull over and we stalled and lost the coolant.
Car now transported to in-laws street.

I have checked - its snapped the cambelt. I am beyond gutted. Its been well cared for and was running well. Cambelt was changed a few months ago only.

I am presuming the valves will be bent but i am not in a position to check as away from home.

Its a 1998 V70R awd. Only on 111,300miles or there about. New exhaust a year ago, new brakes 2months ago and so on. So it feels like (it was) a decent car.

So, can anyone guide what sort of cost I would be looking at to repair?

I am trying to weigh up repair (local v transport back to edinburgh) versus selling it as it is versus stripping it for parts

Thoughts appreciated. A sad day before my mother in laws funeral.

Cheers,
Aaron.
