Where the heck was that guy buying his parts from............some of those totals seem outrageous.
Sound like a money pit....99 cents though is hard to argue with when there is no reserve...haha.
i am all for .99 bid. just need to get an ebay account. then i am all for it.
he def paid too much for the parts.. must be including years of labor... from a shop that saw him coming...
is he on the forum? that would be cool if he was.. maybe give us a better crack at it save him the ebay cost.

Wow, his shop must have seen him coming a mile away.
He's probably a frequent flyer...one of those people who has to have every squeak, rattle, noise taken care of at a shop.
rt front tie rod end = $400+ :shock:
wow.

New vacuum line ($10)
valve cover vent nipple ($10)

spark plugs ($10)
dist cap ?and? rotor for ignition system ($30)
ignition wire set ($80)
flush cooling system ($30):
=$182 or so in parts
$ 833.57
...which means $650 in labor for that stuff?!?!!? That's an hour worth of work, maybe two at the most. Even book time can't be 8 hours for that stuff, could it?

that is some spectacular price gouging right there, however not totally unheard of, the 91 900 that Delorean got for $100 had very similar records, the crazy lady had taken it to the local dealer and thats about what the totals ended up being. the $2300 clutch job is pretty great too, $300 worth of parts and $1000 an hour for labor? :lol:

if he actually aid that much for someone to do that stuff, he has got to be on drugs or dropped as a baby. - The mechanic is/was a bastard for ripping the guy off.
- just had back brakes out on my car rotors and pads. - 75 dollars w/ parts and labor.
You have to know how to get parts and know who to get to work on these cars.... poor bastard

those look like dealer prices to me... Like Paul H mentioned, the $100 900-T I recently got had a similar service history. I think it was easily $15,000 over 5 years.
FYI the car is a 2.1l non turbo 5spd, guy is kinda lacking in the details department, not sure how he managed to blow a trans in 120k in a non turbo...
