I am very expensive and it will cost you a lot. However I do suggest you read Lemon Aid - Used Cars. After reading that book (about $30, you will be as good as I am!

Folks: I assume that I have to pay a price for my being lazy.
As being expensive, my understanding is roughly t:

Set: V=the carrying value of the bought car, P=the total payment the buyer makes,
then:
very expensive=P>V greatly;
expensive=P>V & P< 120% V;
Cheap=P<V;
Dirt cheap=P<130% V

Anyway, I am very cheap in some sense because I cannot find a job here for my living.

Lazydog:

Please don't make me feel bad - 我在中国和加拿大学的都是文科, 现在干的更是文科. I will have to take math course for another 10 years to understand your formula.but I really don't have the will, nor do I have the time to do so.

As a deal (that you don't continue to embarras me), I agree to do this favour free of charge for you (one time deal) ... I will be out of town for a business trip for about 3 weeks. Upon my return, I will contact you - that will be around the 2nd week of July.

Please email me your tel number. My address: folks@videotron.ca

Ray,
If this is the alternator, then the total cost of both labor and the REBUILT alternator is between $ 350 to $450 depending on which garage does your job.

ray1999,
i think u really stupid man!!! 叫你不买偏要买辆破车！

Your alternator and water pump both gone. How come? You just bought? Remeber I told you $500?

No matter how you feel good, it still needs fix. believe me, any car run better on highway. Don't use Carfax, which is silly.

I feel sorry seeing a Chinese fellow sitting in a 1983 Civic shacking on the road.

Car inspection is more important on the older cars - because everything could break at any time...

I am currently out of town and will return to MOntreal the 1st week of July. Will take up questions then.
