I do understand your displeasure with the seller. If it were me saying I was P*@@ed off would be understatment of the year.
Hey Doc -- yes, I am going to check on repair estimates and probably will bite the bullet and get it fixed. I am confident that the car is worth fixing, and I really can't afford to toss the money I spent on the car away. It was pretty much all I could afford, so fixing it is going to get into my Christmas money now. Bummer for the girlfriend!

Thanks for the support! It makes me feel better to get the "been there, done that" emails and hear from folks who have done these repairs.

Chris
