TeriAnn,
I'm with Dave, you won't be able to replace your car with anything close =
to what you have in it for 20K, especially if you just go out and start =
buying parts all at one time instead of looking for deals.
I would say 35-40K would get you close to what you have now.
May you never have to find out!!
Regards,
Dave Connitt
