LIMG leak

Redog · 08-13-2007, 02:41 PM

Just started, again

Very slight right now, but the car is parked. My guy quoted me $647 to fix it, figuring on $100 for the gaskets. The labor came out to 5.9 hours.

The price is right where is should be, I don't wanna tackle this one myself, and neither does my mech.,

So right now, it's parked becuase I only have $422 left on my card, I asked for an increase but it will take a few days, plus I asked for it on Saturday morning. I don't see why they won't give me an increase, I usually don't carry a balance and since I have one right now (wedding) I pay a hell of a lot more than min. payment (last month min was $34, I paid $600) so if I don't get the increase, it will stay parked until Sept, unless an emercey pops up.

That sucks... You can just buy my Alero... it's all fixed.

They keep increasing my CC limit without me asking! I got my last bill and was like "$14,000 what?!" You should be good though, they'll want you to rack up a higher balance and more interest.

Thast sucks, i have replace mine 2 in the going on 5 yearws i have had it (once did it with a friend others done by a shop.) Yeah make sure you pay that card own i have no clue how many lines of credit you have by mainting beyond 50% of the allowed amount is not good for your FICO score.

why not do it? Its really not that hard if you know how to follow directions properly. I did my brothers in under 7 hrs. Id say that is worth it to save almost $500.

You took an Alero to a Mazda dealership to be fixed...

Now I know how you got sold a Mazda haha

I can't complain, i guess.

The car is 7 years old with just under 90K on it, but I thought I beat the problem when I did the manifolds.

O well, I'm on 2nd shift this week, which blows, but it's an OT fest

be sure you get those good gaskets and you will never have to worry about it again
