Thanks. Agree it's a personal decision. For this one, I'd have it done - it's a reputable shop and they seem very decent. I do like the Intrigue and I've got a backup. The backup, a '93 Isuzu Rodeo with 197K, seems to be the one that never requires any work. The newer Intrigue is really the car I'm looking to be the reliable one. I'm leaning toward doing the repair but trying to build confidence that I'll come out of this with the Intrigue being a reliable primary car that I can count on.
