$200 for one drive shaft is a rip, the car isn't even worth that money. Usually you can get one for like $50 at a wrecker, the labour price isn't too bad. I had a driveshaft installed for $50 by a previous banned affiliate which I won't mention before they crack open on me. My advice is going to a wrecker and buying a used one and make that guy install it if you don't know how to do so but it's fairly easy to install it if you have a bit of hands on skills, I recently did one in my garage, not hard.
