Just my perspective here....Dark_Soul has repented of his parsimony, but others may also benefit from the following exercise: Imagine a beautiful day, wind in your face, driving down the road in a Spider with no fuel fumes in your nose or eyes. Or in those of your lady, sitting next to you with adoring eyes and soft hands. Then consider how many of those hours you might spend otherwise, sitting in your garage alone trying to cobble together a $15 fix in place of a $36 part. Kind of makes it seem futile, no?

Much the same argument applies to the 164 sedan.
