Yeah.. The entire car's only worth $5-6K, for $2100 we'd say "just tow it
back to our house" and we'd go looking for another vehicle.

Course, compare the factory sticker price of your car, to the factory price
of this car ('92 LeBaron convertible, V6)... 8-)  This was a "go across town
and pick it up" part, while I doubt yours was that easy to get...
