Hello again,

Well.. I did find a company that will re-build the units at a cost of $1600 each, bringing the repair to $3200. A great reduction of the $6500, but I think with all the collective resources we have we can do better.

Also, for other less expensive models I would assume a repair of half the original unit cost, which should be a boon to those with $1100 EAs.

Still looking for the best solution, and appreciate any help getting to it!

Justin

P.S.: I agree with the sentiment on the costs, especially since I'm paying them, but drive a 600, then drive any new car you could resonably afford.
Then... you have your answer!
