Hi guys,
I just test drove a 2000 coupe, and I have a few questions. There was a hissing sound coming from the climate control panel. Do these cars have vacuum lines connected to the back of the controls? I was quoted $1800 to replace the cracked windshield, does this sound about right?
Thanks

No vacuum hoses, $1800.00 is too much for a windshield.
