IF the valve seat is bad, it will only get worse, rapidly. What you don't want is to have the valve drop through to the cyl head where it will really do some damage. I have 3 Volvos, so I have the luxury of saying "don't drive it".
Ask your mechanic about what he expects to find and what he is going to fix. Will he check all of the other valves, will he do rings also, should you look for a sightly less worn motor for the same price? Ask, ask, ask. There is no such thing as a dumb question, just dumb answers.
Lots of luck and keep us informed,

Klaus
