SO, some of you know... I went to havasu and bought a used toyota from anderson toyota,... It's a 2000 tacoma TRD/sr5 auto trans...
when I test drove it, I heard a little click noise from the bottom... I figured it was a cat converter going,.... they said they did some 100 point check out and it was nothing... I figured it was a cat and i would just have to replace it..
well, when my son sees the truck he goes all ape'y,... says that the truck he's been looking for but everyone wants so much for then...he wants to buy it for what I paid and wants me to go get another one...
soooo... I find another one, newer , less mile, no dents, and "more Money"
so I buy it sell the other to my son...the day he gets it when he backs out I hear this clicking noise...now I think its a u joint...I tell him he better put it up on the lift and check it....well. couple days go by, he calls and says the noise is getting worse, now sounds like a rod in the motor...
so it goes on the lift.... they say it coming out of the trans...
so I call JOHN, sells manager, tell him whats up... he says bring it in for a look... nothing he can do till he checks it out...
get it down sat morn...they call back a couple hrs. later...say....its the flex plate that is cracking .......gonna be 9hrs labor plus the part... w t f...
they say won't know for sure till they finish tearing down...
so now I figure, guess I'm fucked....can't pass this on to my son, wife won't let me..:grumble:
so now it's monday, JOHN calls,saYS THEY AREN'T SURE want they will do about it, but "DON"T WORRY" HE'LL CALL WHEN ITS DONE...
SO, tuesdays rolls around, chris in service calls, says truck is fixed,, I ask what is the bill,.. he says he doesn't know it isn't totaled out but come on down...
so I get there, talk to joe the tech that did the repair, he says its fixed and drives good.. chris is not in yet, it's 7:30 am...they say JOHN has the keys...
so I go to JOHN... He says sorry for the problem, but it wasn't making the noise
when they checked it out , or they would have just wholesaled it..he goes on to says that all the cars they sale, they stand behind them with a 30 day power train warranty..they had elected to repair the truck rather then refund my money, so the truck is fix'd
no bill, free of any charge...
wtf
for reals, no charge!!! a 2000 toyota with 190,000 miles fixed for free???:champagne::champagne:
