88 80Q -- greasy CV boot

[Huw Powell]

Sounds a tad overpriced... I had four new CV boots put on my coupe for
55 parts plus about 100 labor a couple years ago.  Sure it's a different
car, but no harder to get into.  It can make sense to do more than one
at a time - depends ont he condition of the others and whether you find
a reasonable quote I guess.
