Well I'm done

[ikethegreat]

Since it's almost paid off and the tranny is covered under warranty, I see no reason to get rid of it.  Unless you just really love seeing that monthly car bill show up in the mail.

Well in my current situation I have enough expendible income to handle a car payment. The other thing I'm begining to think about is that my coupe is really not practical at all. I'll probably keep it until I find a steal of a deal somewhere but, I have a feeling it won't be anything sporty. Probably going to end up with a smaller SUV.

bummer to hear about this mike.  it sounds like the best bet is to keep it through the warranty.  as your dad put it, you already paid for it so if anything else goes wrong with the tranny its covered for a while.

[Mike]

Yeah I think i'm going to hold onto it unless I find a steal on something else.

Probably going to end up with a smaller SUV.

I'm sort of in the same boat as you, except I only don't want my CM anymore because I need a family hauler.

[Mike]

Thats sort of my situation also. We are about to buy a house so I need to have the ability to transport some stuff that I'll need.

[Mike]

Just talked to the shop. They have to take it out and rebuilt it again. Should be done early next week.

[Mike]

Update: Of course I couldn't get out of this for free. Turns out that there is a bad motor mount ($200), and they are going to install a transmission cooler ($200)... Nothing is free in this world I guess!

[timot_one]

That's a bullshit excuse Mike.  Tell them to S the D and replace that shit for free.

[Mike]

Well the motor mount was toast before hand. They are actually installing that for the price of the parts sense it's already off. I honestly didn't even know the car had a transmission cooler but, I asked them to keep the old one, and show me the new one after install. The cooler isn't covered under warranty I looked it up.

$200 for a rear mount, OK, but if it is the front or especially the pass side, hell no.

Parts 9,12,13 are the mounts...

Part number 1 for $126 is the "cooler assy", which I have about 8 sitting here.

I was wondering if that "warmer" was the tranny cooler they were talking about. 

[Mike]

I'm going to have to ask them which mount it is. Unfortunately I can argue but, my backs kind of against the wall.

[Mike]

They described the mount as being between the engine and transmission. Not sure if that helps determine which one it is. I figure i'm getting taken advantage of a little. I'll be sure to bring up these prices Monday when I talk to them I'm sure they are probably tacking on a delivery charge and all that other shit.
