Ya they are cheap, but you will need a lot of them lol. It's not the mechanical parts that will hurt you on a K5, it's the sheet metal/labor to replace that sheet metal that will. And anything from the 80s/early 90s is going to start having issues like electrical problems etc. On a K5 i.e. you will be replacing all the junk that makes the rear window go up and down. They were a good design, but they are 30 years old, so as long as you are equipped to deal with issues like that then you are in good shape.
