well thursday i was driving home from work and then suddenly a loud 'knocking' nosie came from the engine. i get home, check belts and hoses and everything. seems fine. check plugs and everything. those fine too. i take it to 4 different engine shops and all of them say 'its a rod..' and im like 'fudge..'.
:(
well the warranty on this car is gone and i was pretty bummed out about it. today i call the dealer i bought it from about 3 weeks ago and he says 'well theres not much i can do about it..'
yea i was pretty ****ing ****ed. i call him back to yell at him, but instead he brings up a good solution. i buy a 2 year extended warranty for $700 and claim the engine under it. along with the air conditioning that just died. thats where the good news starts :) im getting a new engine, new air conditioning, new drivers side door, and prolly a new tranny (just cuz i want a new one), all for $700 :)
YEEHAW!! basically what i have learned is that never give up when all seems lost haha.
o yea, this is a 97 ga gt 5-speed. the 2.4l engines cost like $1700 so i think im getting a hell of a steal! new air conditioning cost $700 dollars for god sakes! woohoo! i only paid $2700 for this car too.. so im getting a brand new one pretty much for $3400. personally, i think this is a great deal.
