Might be worth it to give Dave at TEP an email and see what he can do for you. If you plan on keeping the car for a while then I could see that being a worthwhile investment.

Seeing as how you're heading off to school soon I'm not trying cost you more money than needed, lol. Just trying to suggest you get it done right the first time and avoid any future issues.

There could be other places to get a decent rebuilt one from, so someone else may chime in.
