Well...... I
was $4500 in, when I bought it (purchase price), but after having a professional shop do the IMS, RMS, Flywheel, axle boots, and fix an air bag light, that almost doubled the cost. After that, I
thought I was in the clear, so I started dumping parts in it. Rear brakes, all 4 sway bar links, new rubber floor mats, I bought a second key ($
), and had the rear bumper painted because the paint had popped from a light impact. I figure I am 12-13K deep in it at this point. If I could get a used engine, add a few parts and get a few years of use out of it, I would feel better than selling it for 2K, taking the loss and giving up.
I just have to figure out the cost of the used engine route, and decide if my pride is stronger than my financial wisdom.....
