$509 for the pump, $90 for a new filter, 4 hours labor for the install... while it's there, i'm having them install the new timken front wheel bearings, brakemotive rotors, and delco pads that were riding in the back for me to do at the shop at home, so that's another 4 hours labor... fml, this trip got expensive... the dealership is being pretty awesome about it all though and gave me every discount they could cram into the computer... still almost a $1500 job out the door (cant remember if that's before or after discounts... ive been awak for over 24 hours and dealing with this since 0200 this morning...)

also, while i was trying to decide what to do, i went shopping in their showroom... had the deal made on an 09 G8 GT with 46k on it until they came back with what they would give me for the 'hoe on trade... i promptly told them to eat a dick and that i would set the bitch on fire in their parking lot and let it burn before i accepted their offer... their "top dollar" was $1500- ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!? i told them what i would take for it on trade, and made it clear i was also planning to put 50% cash down on the price of the car if they would pay me what i wanted for it and they basically told me to go fuck myself...

Wow!!

ForceFed4g63 · 06-22-2012, 01:12 PM

$1500...? With a brand new motor and a bunch of freshening up? They are smoking crack!!!

ShawnBoyMoody · 06-22-2012, 01:13 PM

Go see the ford dealer.

LXtasy · 06-22-2012, 01:15 PM

OMG I can not believe that the dealership is charging $1500 for all that. Should call other shops and shop around. Jiffy lube can probably do it for $150 labor.

*disclaimer* was a joke was not serious

yota · 06-22-2012, 01:20 PM

i have half a mind to call the GM and see what he thinks about losing a definite vehicle sale for a ~$1500 service ticket

You should absolutely do that. No joke.

ShawnBoyMoody · 06-22-2012, 01:29 PM

What did you want out of the Tahoe? The fact that it has a new engine tires brakes aint gonna affect the trade in value whatsoever. It sucks but its true.

ShawnBoyMoody · 06-22-2012, 01:32 PM

Not saying it isnt worth alot more than that Im just saying. My inlaws have alteady said they are just gonna gift us their Tahoe when they buy a new one cause my father inlaw threatened to throw a chair through hendricks front window because of the lowball trade in they offered.

yota · 06-22-2012, 01:37 PM

i told them if they would give me $4k on trade-in i would buy the car... kbb in POOR condition is higher than that

ForceFed4g63 · 06-22-2012, 01:38 PM

Unfortunately they don't go off of KBB.

LXtasy · 06-22-2012, 01:40 PM

lately dealerships are basing trade ins off of what they can sell it at wholesale auction for. Especially on a vehicle over 10 years old

i know... however, im pretty sure there is more than enough markup in the G8 to cover it and still make a profit... whatever... after today, i might as well keep it another year or so and get my money's worth out of it... i'm still going to buy another car, but this would've allowed me to kill 2 birds with one stone and get something nicer than what i was looking at... all black G8 GT's with chrome wheels, black interior, and tint are fucking sexy

BigdaddyDupree · 06-22-2012, 01:46 PM

recently we traded in two of my buddys trucks, reg cab z71's 200k miles, they gave 7k for the one i know about. new truck was 28k, they gave him 7k and he financed 21k at his bank

ShawnBoyMoody · 06-22-2012, 01:49 PM

I think your 4k request is spot on. Tell em to pound sand.

x2, I'm pretty shocked they turned you down, especially with that much cash on your end.
