I actually think I'd enjoy learning how to do some of the maintenance myself... not too fluent in this sort of thing right now, but I do know my way around other quirky mechanical things (in my case, vintage guitar amplifiers) and am a quick study. I don't want to break any newsgroup ettiquette, so I apologize in advance, but wondering what would be a fair price for something like I'm considering... 1990 c900 SPG... 118K miles, but having a transmission rebuilt and the entire vehicle gone over by qualified indy mechanic... Bluebook/Edmunds is fairly low for this model... like under $3,000 or so (I believe). But considering its "mechanical makeover," should I expect to pay some more for something like this? I want to be fair, but don't want to completely overpay either.
