Total cost around $3600, which I considered a good deal, considering the R&R, rebuild, & IMS replacement.
Okay, thank God I'm bringing it back to the mechanic to repair it now. I can't do without my car. I work an hour away from my home so I need it, and I don't have any other car. Plus, a $3,600 repair would be too much for me, especially considering I bought the car for $7,000. Thankfully, since the mechanic sold it to me with this issue, after he said it didn't have any issues, he's willing to fix the problem for free.

Here's to hoping it all works out well! Fingers crossed.
