Thanks! It sounds like I'm going to have to make my cash reserve for repairs a bit bigger that $2500 (which I've already used this month). I am very glad I paid cash for this car and didn't buy a much newer model with a decent sized note. I don't know if my wife would go for both a note and a large repair slush fund!

Here is to your bill being smaller! I heard over $10k from someone else, but I don't know if they used the dealership or not.
