Ford Repair: 91 Ford Probe Gt Turbo, cv axles, cv joints

Question
I am considering buying this car but the cv joints are going out and he said I will need a spring for one of the rear brakes??....will these be expensive fixes?

Answer
You can usually get CV axles replaced for about $140 a piece,most of the time less than that.The spring for the rear brakes could be replaced when you have the rear brakes changed,because they probably need it.This would be another $100.That is a high estimate for a rear brake job.If you do buy the car,change the oil right off the bat.I would then replace the brakes before the axles.
