When I got my car I needed...

New Alt=$350
Ball Joint/UCA/Alignment=$350
Tires=$250

At that time I never worked on a car. Now a days I could have probably done the Alt for whatever the cost of one is, Balljoint/UCA is a joke, $70.

Doing your own work saves a lot of money. Labor is most of the cost to put anything in. And on cars these old you won't be able to afford them if you have to have it in the shop all the time. My car minus maybe the starter, main relay, and spark plug seals has never not started on me. It's pretty damn reliable, even with spark plugs drowned in oil it still got moving. They are troopers.
