Obviously you knew what you were saying - but I'm not sure what you meant.....

I think that he is responsible for 3 thousand dollars of the 18 thousand dollar bill... . I think that 18 thousand is quite high... My buddy was quoted like 8 or 9 thousand from the dealer to replace his motor... . Wes

18k for what???

 

[cerberusiam]

18k for what???

Yeah, my question exactly? This ain't one on the OTHER brands.

 

[EXSTROKER]

sorry I guess I did not read what I wrote...

18k to replace the motor and turbo ya it does sound real high

but at least thay did it ,well it is not finishedbut almost

 

[TowPro]

I bet there cost is $3K

 

[BTighe]

3k is better than 9k. no reason to complain. outa warrenty is outa warrenty.

 

[DZink24]

Just to keep my sanity, the warranty that is expired is the 100k motor warranty, right? 'Cause isn't the time warranty 5 years? So you must be at 104 k miles? Sorry for the silly Q, it's been a long week. .

 

[hammersley]

Yes but just like the $600 hammer......

It's creative accounting for DC IMO... .....

 

[sag2]

Warranty cost for a short engine is usually right at $10,000. The turbo will add about $1,000 to the bill. They might have been quoting him retail, but if DC is paying on warranty, they can't mark it up. They can only charge him $3,000 of the warranty cost.

 

[EXSTROKER]

[rbattelle]

I bet there cost is $3K

How common is the valve dropping deal and on what years. That scares me to death to even think about trashing a motor.

This will either scare you, or help you sleep easier.
