Anyone know how much it would normally cost to rewire the entire car? My has so many problems with it that I can't do it myself.

Well you'll probably take it to an auto shop to have it done. Our local shops here are around $60/hour. To yank out your interior and dash and maybe some engine bay parts, then wire everything back in... I'd figure a good full day, most likely two. So figure $900 or so for labor and another $1000 or so for GM wiring harnesses (I'm guessing, haven't seen prices) = $1900. Are you SURE you don't want to park the car for a few weeks, grab a test light and a voltmeter and in your spare time figure out what's wrong? Then maybe buy new wiring or repair the wiring that you have. You'd save yourself a bundle, plus have a few more tools and learn how to solder.

I've already done that, but the problems that there are, are so extensive, it would take me personally forever just to do it. And I really don't have the patience to do it. lol

My friend who does alot of car work says around $500 or so here, so I dunno... lol

Well if he says he'll do it for $500 you're getting a good deal, because around here it'd definately cost more than that.
