do you mind if I ask how you came to the conclusion of the fault?
is the car 5 speed or auto?
what are the symptoms?
just how much was the estimate?

I don't mean to question your knowledge of such things, just that I see a lot of good cars tossed out because the owner was misguided.
thrust bearing failure is not all that common on a motor that age. and rare overall. not unheard of, just awful rare.

as a side note: 30k lbs is a lot of pie. unless I'm out-of-date, you're talking ~50 grand usd?. couldn't you get any thing you please for that much?
