Minor details in question:

Cruise control doesn't work... speed decreases when you let go of the switch. If you hold it, speed stays. Easy to find/replace the part?

Tachometer doesn't work... easy find/replace?

Sunroof works, but is quite slow to close. Is that normal?

A few brake hoses that need replacing and driveshaft cover has a small crack. No shaking though.

Rear window doesn't work. Panel was off, so owner was in progress. What's the worst case on a window motor/switch?

Will post pics when I get. :-)))
My back window doesn't work because the regulator has a worn guide so the gears slip. Parts can be found on this site. A few hundred for a regulator and a few hundred for a motor, I will probably try to find a used one in a junk yard or somebody who is stripping one for parts.
