Okay guys here's my problem:
My 1990 Toyota Corolla broke down and there was smoke and crap coming out from the engine. So I disconnect the battery, look inside and realize the starter solenoid and the 2 wires connecting it are burned right out. I bought this car for $650 and have so far replaced the battery (I took it out just now), alternator (last week... brand new alternator), and spark plugs/ignition coil (cost me $230).
Should I just say "fuck you corolla" and scrap it for 72 bucks at pick n pull while salvaging what I can (battery and alternator I guess), should I bring it to a mechanic to get it fixed so I can sell it, or should I just sell it "as is".
Any reply would be really helpful guys. Also intelligent guesses on the price to replace a starter solenoid would be great too.
