Ask [MENTION=10]Boosted Euro[/MENTION] exactly what it needs... Parts were like 5-7 hundred, but half that was brand new tires.
      $700 to fix but that was with my cost on parts and me doing the work.

      Front wheel bearings $20-30 each I think
      Front sway bar endlink $18
      All 4 spring/strut combos $90 each
      4 tires , $60-70 each ,can't remember

      That's what I would do, What it needs is

      Driver wheel bearing
      Driver endlink
      Front driver spring
      Coolant hose is.cracked and leaking,( happened after we stoped driving it. )
      4 tires

      Has common Taurus saggy but syndrome , had it when we got it . Caused by dead coils braking on the rear springs. That's why I would do 4 complete take offs but if your sticker guy will let it go they are fine .

                      Those popped up cheap/easy to get on the road.
                      Check jdmASS on facebook. there's always some cheap civic being thrown around on there.

                      I only looked for a second for volvos on CL, but there were a handful, including a nice wagon.

                          Love the Volvo trucks... Those are Badass...

                          And I've wanted a corona for years.... Almost got one when I was in California, but ended up passing.

                          G96, those saabs don't look too bad. The third one interests me. But how do they figure the turbo is blown? Lol to me that always seems like a cheap excuse for a blown motor. The first one would be sweet though... Lol

                          And Sean.. Idk about that Volvo lol

                            Also, when it comes to doing work on something, i'm not gonna be super interestedcuz if I had the spare money or time, id fix the MR2 lol but it depend on extent of work needed and cost of course. I don't mind spending a couple bucks and an afternoon on little stuff

                              Low pressure 9-5's have garret gt17. After 100k or so, they die. Everyone replaces them with aero td04 turbos and drive on forever. Everything you need to swap to the aero turbo is 300. Including the turbo.

                                Well if it is actually the turbo that is bad, that wouldn't be an issue. But i'm wondering if the car is just junk and he's just saying its the turbo
