Cindy had an offer of $5,000 on her car from Brenda. Cindy and Brenda agreed that Brenda would pay for and take possession of the car after Cindy had made certain repairs on the car.

Cindy hired Mark, a mechanic, to work on the car. As Mark worked on the car, he made several mistakes. Cindy picked up the car to take it to Brenda. As Cindy drove the car, she could tell things were not right. When she got to Brenda's house, Brenda checked the car and found the mistakes Mark had made. Brenda said that she would only pay $3,000 for the car in the state it was in or Cindy could find someone to fix it satisfactorily and Brenda would pay $5,000. Cindy called several other mechanics and learned it would cost $1,900 to repair the car.

What amount can Cindy collect from Mark for his mistakes?
