Since we are all erroring to the side of emotion regarding these cars, ask yourself what would make you happy?

What would it take to make to make you happy with this car? Make a list. Add it up. If it is too much money, then get something else.

Is the tranny leak simply a new pan gasket? $30 +/-

Is the oil consumption the front chain housing seal or a head job? $20 or $600+/-?

There is something I really enjoy about figuring out what my car needs, figuring out how to fix it, fixing it and then enjoying the fruits of my labor.

Maybe inexpensive therapy? (Considering all the hours!)
