So, if you're not inclined to spend the time and money to correct all the "issues", I'd suggest that you sell the vehicle. I'm sure you can recover the amount that you currently have into it. From here on.........it's all downhill. None of us can sell the vehicle for the amount of the parts plus the purchase price. If you pay for labor.............you'll drown.
