Ouch... That sucks man lol. How long is the warranty on those? Oh ya, and what was the problem? I remember seeing the post a while ago about them taking forever to figure out why it wouldn't start but never saw what the problem was.

Look at it this way, You get me that answer today you can have the commision to repay that...LOL

[Spyder]

i would have been more inclined to set it on fire then pay that kind shop charge. then again i would have called clark howard on that ass before i set the car on fire.. for some reason that little friut shows up and they suddenly want to take care of your problems.

damn 4500that really sucks

[Ex_Vtec_Girl]

that's exactly why i've made it a bad habit to trade in my cars as soon as the factory warranty expires.

clark howard kicks ass! i'm thinking about calling him about the bug that was on my big & tasty last week!

I have to agree with him on that...I do mostly all of my own mechanic work and what I dont I have a great mechanic that does work really cheap...but I'll stick with a american car that i know how to work on...

well it was pulling a code P0341, which is for the camshaft position sensor, so after replacing those the shit still didnt work, but based off a TSB honda put out it was the VTEC solenoid Valve that could cause that code.. so that was replaced and the shit still didnt work, so than at that point they just started tearing apart the motor until they found a broken timing chain tensioner. .. that plus a new clutch, plus after sitting it needed a new battery.. new spark plugs.. and now new brakes, rotors, axels and wheel bearings! At least all this shitis new.. now im gonna keep the bitch for a few more years i guess... haha
