Out of warranty = out of warranty. If the dealer doesn’t get reimbursed by the factory, then they lose their ass. I’d be PISSED if I had a customer do this to me. Yes, I feel for you, but do you expect me to take food off my table because your out-of-warranty misfortune? Furthermore, if I don’t pay for your $7,000 repair, you’re going to slander my name? It sucks for the owner of the car, but that’s just not a cool move at all. ---

After looking at the completed listings on eBay,I would figure out some way to collect on the insurance. In running condition its worth $30-35k. ---

Drove by towne bmw on my lunch and it wasnt even there any more. Also if towne only wants 7k to fix it im sure a place like blackforest would probably do it for less, i mean could be wrong but 5 or 6k to repair a car thats 6 years old and origianlly cost 120k doest seem terrible. I know when i had my s4 a big concern was the timing chains and tensioners. the parts alone are about 3500 and thats cost i have heard of people spending upwards of 12k to fix their s4 and didnt complain. the sticker price of the car is about %50 [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/hilarity-at-towne-bmw-and-mini/227493.md?page=3) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/hilarity-at-towne-bmw-and-mini/227493.md?page=5)
