What did something like that cost you?

I worked in Florida when they started their lottery. I used to tell people that if I hit the big one that I would take them all fishing, but they would all have to be back way before me, so I was including their rfeturn trip home as part of the offer.

I've seen very good condition 03-04's with crap for engines go for 3-4k. 6k or less if you drop it in yourself for a new Turner, and you're at 9k anyways without a ticking time bomb!

That's been my biggest reservation on getting an '04. Even though they straigneted out the oil pump thing from the '03's, I have heard horror stories of the '04's grenading engines without warning, and yet some have gotten many,many thousands of trouble free miles. I just don't know if I wanna take that gamble.
