i agree, it is expensive if you can not do the work yourself. i have all the tools. and the capability. i doubt you can find the car in the same condition for 1100. but, she wants something to drive, this is it, simple investment for a later J32a2 Trip Tronic build, this will be a dd for my girlfriend until then. spent 650 on it, add another 100 for the wheels. and 350 for lights, hood and bumper. and its back on the road. just so happens i got lucky and found that it was a d15b under the hood.
