I vote 10 times or more also, plus you have to put it together! It has been talked about many decades ago. ;-)

It's hard to say for certain. I'd be willing to say much higher than that. Guess it would depend on the make/year. Someone should sit down and 0go through ETKA and a pricing guide, and come up with at least a rough estimate.
