Have my p2 in at dealer for airbag recall, and new windshield
I just received a link to the detailed tech inspection which I can’t read because I’m behind the “ Red Curtain”
Thought I would start a fun over/under on the costs they will uncover.
Price is Right rules apply
Airbag and windshield excluded
Timing belt is due, will they find it?

Dealer is sure to identify a few items for repair.

Car is lying Long Island. Labor rates here are high, like urban high. I think it’s $180/hour here?

$1500-1999.
Then they’ll offer to take it off your hands, as is, as the piddly little amount that is coincidentally equal to the down payment required to lease a new one.
