That's more like what I was expecting.
In you opinion, is this car worth that kind of repair bill? I think I could replace it for slightly more, but I run the risk of getting into the same situation with the next one.

The car appears to be reasonably sound otherwise, so I have SOME confidence that I could stil get a lot of use out of it.

I would probably shop around for a 300E in the event that I scrap this one.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thank you.
