Message	But since it's your driver and you need the experience, I say go for it. You will never learn paying others to do things for you. Besides, you will need those mechanical skills to maintain the car if you should decide to keep it. Either that or a lot of money to pay other people to fix it for you. So read all you can on the forum, get a copy of the service manual and dive in!
