Can't help you with pricing but are you sure your tank is shot??
Find the leak first. It's possible it's from the T&P and that's easily replacable.
15 years is at/past it's life expency but some have heaters that last 20 years +, especially if you're in the 1% that actually maintains their heater.
gas heaters, lifetimes
age|how many reached this age|percent of total number
7..|1|, 8%
11|1|, 15%
13|2|, 31%
14|1|, 38%
15|2|, 54%
16|1|, 62%
17|1|, 69%
18|1|, 77%
19|1|, 85%
20|1|, 92%
36|1|, 100
So if it was an easy fix and the OP fixed it his odds of going another 3.5 years are 50-50.
350
850
950
1300
Here's your dot plot
