My dying 960 has a new lease on life (I hope)! I just got my 1992 wagon out of the shop for a total of $1,268.63.

That included a head gasket job for $704 of labor (11 hours) and $216 for parts (which included $90 to a machine shop to repair my cracked cylinder head). The total for the head gasket replacement job was $920.86.

AND I also had the rear main seal and the front transmission seal replaced (requiring removal of the transmission) and all fluids topped off. Labor for that part of the job was $288 (4.5 hours) and parts were $46.60, for a total of $334.60.

I feel like I did all right--the repairs saved my car and allowed me to put off buying something newer. Do these costs sound okay to other 960 owners?
