maybe I am just a little down after the last week, when the head gasket, wiring harness and evaporator all went south on me. I will end up spending $2300 on the head and gasket (head will be machined to remove corrosion), $480 on the wiring harness, (wholesale price), another $500 or so on the water pump that started this whole mess, and will defer the $3000 for the evaporator - maybe I can find someone cheaper to do it, as long as they replace all the vacuum actuators at the same time, or try to do it myself. They are very nice cars. Not great value for money - at least not for me, not today.
