I took it in for a tune up because it was starting to run rough and had a large amount of exhaust. Well needless to say they said it had a blown head gasket. It will cost 1,600 to fix. But what if the heads is warped or cracked?? How much more will that be, or will it be covered in the 1,600 bucks??
Mark...I bought what I could afford. Thos is the first foreign car I've had
 
1600 should include a new head or your getting raped. Seriously. For that price you could get a used engine, INSTALLED.

Shop around, make sure you question everything.
 
Ha Ha, should have bought american :)

Plus, a $1600 repair on a 9 year old vehicle, not worth it
 
Sorry to say, but you've been had even if the problem is the head gasket. When buying an old car, remember the top three things to consider: condition, condition, condition. Never, never buy an old car without first having a good mechanic check it all over. Hey, don't feel bad, we have all been had. Good luck!
 
Sorry for your bad luck but you should get some other price quotes, that sounds way to high.
