900 is an excellent price if it includes the entire 90k tuneup and not just the timing belt.

Free Used Motor/Tranny Mounts

I just replaced all mounts on my 2002 TLS. Don't need them. It would be a nice mod project by caulking them up with liquid polyurethane. Recycle truck won't take them. You can have all of them for free. I'm in South Bay. PM me. First serve first come basis.

Probably just an intake, wheels, and suspension. The rest of the car I'm going to leave the way it is.

It's alright Lito, I don't want you to make a trek that far just for us. I'm sure we can have a sac/bay meet somewhere in Fairfield again or something.
