It's just not worth fixing.
$1,800 to replace the water pump (and timing belt)
Sounds like my clutch is going out again - 10 hours of labor
KBB is only $4K
Might see what parts i can sell online.

$1800 for a TB + goodies sound too expensive. A Blauparts kit should be under $400 and a good indie shop should charge 6 hours labor. Total around $1k. You've got a lot in the vehicle, so unless you've beat the crap out of it it sounds fixable.

Too bad you aren't closer to Charlotte, I hear good things about shops there. Here in Durham I believe there are a few good ones too, but the only one I use is mine.

Rent the tool kit. They do return your deposit. It comes with instructions.

i found a shop that will do everything including the valve gasket (which i've been suffering with for a while) for $500. I just have to order the parts for them. i don't think i can turn this down...considering i'm driving my wife's Jaguar until this is fixed (i hate the jag).
