If you get any stars, you can easily fix those with the crack repair kits at any auto store.

It depends. The kits do work for short cracks, but great on stars. Its basically a syringe and suction cup. You place it over the center of the spot and pump the syrnge and it works the sealer intothe star. It may take a few kits to get the crack sealed and placing a few along the crack.

I would agree and see if you can get a used one. If its not on the drivers side and your inspection is not do soon, I would not sweat it.

Oh yea, I was just suggesting. It's worth saving money if you could find one there which isn't f*cked up. Good luck!
