If he wants to buy new, that's great, but what would he spend ? $35K to 40K ?
IMO, it's well worth researching. If he wants something different, its a moot point.
Thanks -
I remember reading that unless you are buying a NEW car the better investment would be resurrecting the one in your driveway

10k for an engine install? I hope you have hair, so the mechanic can pull it

Calm down Amigo. lol
Just using arbitrary numbers in a discussion about fix or replace. Right now we have no idea of the real numbers in Jeff's case.
EDIT: In my arbitrary number I was including new Long Block.
