I found that it may be cheaper to get a rebuilt drive shaft with an already set center support bearing. I did this once and got a realy good deal on a rebuilt drive shaft.

The windows are a relay issue, and not a switch issue.

Personally, the 2.2 auto is SLOW, whereas the 2.2 5speed is actually quite spirited. I would pass on this one. There are TOO many little problems that are quite expensive.
My gut is sort of leaning me away - and the main reason is the automatic tranny and slowness...I am going to wait and talk with the husband tomorrow and allow him to talk to me about the car --- I'm curious as to his knowledge and explainations.

Thanks again...
