<DIV><FONT face=Arial>TeriAnn,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I'm with Dave, you won't be able to replace your car with
anything close to what you have in it for 20K, especially if you just go out and
start buying parts all at one time instead of looking for deals.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I would say 35-40K would get you close to what you have
now.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>May you never have to find out!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Regards,</FONT></DIV>
