After reading all of the other opinions, I have reached the conclusion that at the mileage you state, it is most likely that you will not get it fixed by any simple means.
First thing is that what you are told about the intake manifold gaskets is true. Seen it many times.
Second thing is that the engine is also prone to cracked heads.
Third thing is that I disagree about the thermostat being the culprit. More likely is that you were losing coolant right along. Finally got low enough to cause overheating. Too late to blame the thermostat. If the thermostat had stuck closed, you would have overheated very soon after starting out. Once underway, thermostat is open and will stay open unless the engine cools off.
With mileage over 200,000, it may be time for a replacement.
