Nate....thanks so much for posting these, I'm glad you went the extra mile
First off....time for a hair cut, haha.:love-it:
Second, that car is definitally worth 100 bucks, and still worth what you've put back into it! Find another luxury car that has great interior and a V8 for under a grand and compare, haha.
With some minor "mods" you can get some better gas mileage and better performance from your car, but we won't recommend any of that until you get that CE light to stop coming on, and get it to start normal!
These cars are very easy to work on, and once you work the bugs out, you'll have a cherry on your hands! Keep up the good work, and congrats on paying for most of it yourself....I bet mom's is happy, haha. I know my dad loves the fact that I'm a mechanic...I've saved our family thousands.
Little word of advise, to both you and your family. If you need anything, just ask, you'll be getting all sorts of FREE information from people that live/breathe Mark Viii's and we'll save you guys time and money figuring your car out to the best of our knowledge. We have a lot of people coming on and asking what they did wrong AFTER they screw something up, so if you're unsure, just ask. :rolleyes-green:
