Why do people think I'm lying about this stuff? It's not like I'm talking about my penis size or 40 time or how far I can throw a football.
But you got me, it may have been $317.83 or even $322.47 or something like that. I don't remember the exact amount and I didn't think it was important enough to dig up the receipt so I rounded it off. |

Yeah I was a bit surprised that was all it cost, and that was even at a dealership. One reason they cost so much is they often replace the water pump while they're in there as well, but the dealer said that wasn't necessary until the 2nd timing belt change.

We fix all of our own stuff at our shop. Everything from suspension to motor, transmission, differential etc etc. I did not read the whole thread, but if he is saying he only pays $150 a year for repairs and maintenance, I don't believe that. Unless it's a brand new car and you only have oil changes. I have a 96 Escort, just had to put an alternator, outer tie rods and sway bars on her, and did an oil change and it that cost me about $150. Thats wholesale cost and no labor or tax.

As far as my van, I guess I was just lucky with it because I never had to take it into a shop for anything, the few problems I had with it I was able to repair myself. |
