Rob,
Sounds lik eyou've found a pretty nice car. Like you said, a few bucks can be saved by going with an independant shop. Also, you could probably do some of that yourself.
I did the headgasket on my car in a weekend shortly after I bought it (fall of '03). Turns out the previous owner never changed the coolant, so it had done a number on the HG. I did it for about $350, and a day and a half of wrenchin'.
Good luck, and let us know what happens. The 9000 is a great car, and the '98 is pretty special. Does it have the correct three-spoke, exposed-lug wheels?
