Driverside Seat Stuffed?

[Chris xr6]

On my way home I decided to drop in to Coffey Ford in Dandenong and enquire what the parts would cost if I were to purchase it from them instead of the Hallam service center. Get this Trade price is what I was offered and they would do it for 800 bucks :cussing:.  So what is the 1475 bucks that I was quoted?? Well anyway we will see what this all ends up with as Hallam Service Centre supposedly are going to call me today to get it repaired at the expense of Ford paying half the costs for it.  My wonder is what its going to cost me halved? Knowing that the parts at its parent dealership I got quoted was 800 bucks.

Man at the end of the day Ford Service is just as bad as Expensive Daewoo if not worse.

:cussing:  :cussing:

You see I can't understand why they qoated me $1475 to begin with which as anyone would do obviously sent me reeling. It must be inconsitancys through the ford dealerships then. YOu see the funny thing is Ford Service in Hallam rang me yesterday and the the service manager again said they are waiting to get it approved. Pretty much I told him to shove it up his as waiting for almost two weeks to get a response is bullsh*t let alone a approval. I then told him I can get it fixed at a fraction of the cost and he was suprised. Anyway I got the impression that he didnt like to here what he was hearing and we parted ways.

So Chris if you have been qoated $286 dollars then Coffey Ford are in the Business of ripping us off. I work hard for the money I earn and it gets me really angry :rokon: when I get taken advantage off all for the purpose to swindle more money out of me more than what the product is worth. I am sure you all agree.

The moral I guess is to hunt around even when it comes to services etc.

I would say its more than likely they are replacing more than is necesary, im sure the actual seat base which is the part with all the adjustment mechanisms is f*cking expensive.

Ring Dominelli ford in sutherland in Sydney and ask for the internal frame for the seat base. This is the only part you will require!
