I deleted the post here, but this post really angered people: https://old.reddit.com/r/askcarguys/comments/17w1pur/what_happens_if_i_choose_not_to_pick_my_car_up/
I wasn’t going to leave the truck with the mechanic. I was mad that I approved work I couldn’t afford. I’ll be picking it up this afternoon. However, I cannot keep dumping money into this car. I don’t need to know how shitty anything but Hondas and Toyotas are. This was what I could afford. The newest Honda/Toyota near me for the price I paid was early 90s.
I’ve replaced a shit ton of stuff, but the transmission on these things are apparently shitty. I just need advice.
Stuff I’ve replaced:
-Fuel pump
-Water pump
-Brake lines
-Spider injectors (x2)
-Spark plugs
-Fuel pressure regulator
-Filler neck
-Purge solenoid
-Temperature sensor regulator
-Door pins
-Alternator
Even 1000 for the rest seems steep. Idk might be fair price these days I guess. I dont take my cars to shops anymore unless I absolutely have to because its just too expensive lol
