At a guess, certainly... wind****eld, partial exhaust or complete system
depending on where the leak is. Lets say minimum $450 for this.
Likely some brake work, possibly some some tires and shocks. Let's say
another $800.
But the big problem is emissions. Just because it passed in 2006 does not
mean that (typically) 30,000km later it will still.
The catalytic converter likely requires replacing as do the O2 sensor(s).
Add another $250.
At 332000, the valve guides WILL be worn and leaking oil into the exhaust,
and the rings will be tired. If so, there's no way that the car will pass
emissions without a head rebuild and new rings. But you don't put just
new
rings into a 332K engine: you do a full engine rebuild. $1500 for parts
plus
the labour if you pay someone. Add another $1000.
Since the car also has some minor body damage, unless its rust free
(doubtful) and the interior is perfect, you should probably look
elsewhere.
A wrecker would pay $200 max for this vehicle.
