raymondo Member 28 Member For: 20y 2d Posted 14/03/06 10:10 AM Share Posted 14/03/06 10:10 AM Hi all,To all of those that have had to listen to me b**ching about my car, and for those who helped with some ideas to get ford to fix it and to those who helped me find who could fix the turbo for less than ford would...THANK YOU.I finally traded the thing in for $24K, and managed for them to trade it based upon my verbal description and made some story about it not been able to be viewed as it was in getting its 45,000 service done. I just hope they don't drive it...I cross my fingers.It cost only 2 K to get the turbo charger rebuilt versus the 3.5K ford said it would... or a new one for 5K, by getting a local turbo specialist rebuilding it.So just again.....word of advice, never buy a car from South Melbourne Jefferson ford.....they are sh*tful.CheersRAYPS....and yes I have put my slippers, smoking jacket and old mans drivers hat and gloves on and purchased a new VW passat....very slow...but fingers crossed reliable.
