Hi All, I have a 2001 manual SE Pathy 4WD that frequently smells like gas and has the Gross EVAP leak code (can't remember number). Took it to a local shop and they say $90 to smoke it and won't nail down a cost to fix it. Not even a ballpark. Could this be $50? $1000? I was told it doesn't affect ...

Thanks for helping me out! I found a 1998 SE with 101,200 miles and a one owner for $3800. It is at a reputable dealership in WI. Wisconsin laws state that all recommended maintence must be performed and all mechanical issues must be fixed before being put on the lot for sale. It still has a lot of ...
