Estimate on prices? 850 1996

Going to a dealer and paying inflated costs for labor time and parts, your check book will take a hit. All parts are guarenteed for a year.
A really good indie is the place for you, or you could learn how to DIY and save a lot of money. Labor rates vary from state to state, MN is high, TN is low.
Check FCPGroton for all of your parts and add 1.5 times that cost for labor and you should be in someone's ballpark.
Or, sell your car and be sure to deduct the parts and labor from the above to come up with a fair value. I'm sure the new owner will not be happy if you charged him $4,000 PLUS required parts and labor.
