Answer 1

Hi, my name is\*\*\*\*\* to justanswer. Lets see if we cant help you out here. Although that is quite a list, it is probably not far off. Especially after adding labor. And not knowing what it needs for emissions also makes it hard to determine cost. **\*\*As far as phone calls, If you didn't request it, it is most likely the Website prompting you, not me. A Live Call is a "Premium Service" and will cost more money. I prefer communicating via this site, but in some cases a phone call may be recommended.\*\***

Answer 2

Brakes and tires are top of the list.

Answer 3

The radiator cap should be replaced so it doesn't over heat. And the missing lug nut should be replaced. The other items can be replaced over time unless they need to be done for state inspection.

Answer 4

You are very welcome. Best of luck with your sale, and thanks for using justanswer.
