That's simple by modern standards Hugh, rebuilding a DME is probably an easy task to the right person.

Each one is between 10-20 grand. Only a fool would buy these rides without a PPI, but who buys a ride without a PPI anyway? I really think that something like these could work out for people, and you can't tell me one of those wouldn't be a better than a run of the mill Yaris, or Malibu.
You're killin' me Smalls! I've been entertaining the idea of buying an old school Suburban, don't humor me.
