What a shame to sell a great TD wagon so cheaply for a leaky steering
rack. I can send you a rebuilt rack for $225 exchange plus shipping, or a
good used one for $100 the same way. Unless the car is pretty beat up it
should be worth $1500 to $2500. Diesels are quite in demand now for
conversion to biodiesel. You might find a good used rack locally too.
