The problem is, around here at least, you are looking at $3-5k to get the IMS and clutch done depending on what IMSB and whether the flywheel gets done or not. Add on $1-2k for other found work and that is a tough pill to swallow on a $15-20k car. You are then left with either trying to find a suitable car with the IMSB done already or taking your chances and dealing with the 8% failure rate (if the stats are right). For those of us that can wrench ourselves then at least you have the option of dropping a grand or two of labor off if you don't mind spending the time.
