Either that, or once the warranties expire, the car basically expires.<BR/><BR/>Hang tough.<BR/><BR/>Glad you had a bit of a soccer break, and yet still enjoyed some.Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576409086020993015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14601722.post-5630242105779743992007-09-18T16:37:00.000-04:002007-09-18T16:37:00.000-04:00Don't get me started on car places and mechanics! ...Don't get me started on car places and mechanics! I feel like a very intelligent, put-together woman but I can walk into any sort of car-related business and they make me feel like the biggest IDIOT!! I can usually call Gary in tears after talking to Bubba M. Echanic, even though there's NO reason I should feel that way! UGH!!!<BR/><BR/>Sorry the Stingrays lost!!! <BR/><BR/>And I HATE makeup games. It just screws up your schedule too much!!!Cheryl Wrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437963733817953990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14601722.post-79746698653623771632007-09-18T16:18:00.000-04:002007-09-18T16:18:00.000-04:00Last time we bought a new car, a salesman greeted ...Last time we bought a new car, a salesman greeted my husband and shook his hand. He didn't even look in my direction. I have to wonder if the guy really thought we'd buy a car from him after that. I did call and complain to the sales manager. Of course he fell all over himself apologizing and promised a super deal. But, nope, we went some place else. <BR/><BR/>Good luck with your car. You'd think with all the computerized troubleshooting equipment they have that they'd know right away what's wrong. Unfortunately, it never quite works that way.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17347383508567826146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14601722.post-49436055040732027522007-09-18T14:22:00.000-04:002007-09-18T14:22:00.000-04:00You go after 'em, girl!!

You should write a letter to Nissan. Be clear, concise and give as much info as you can. If possible find out the company president's name and send it directly to him so that he has to sign for it. Believe me you'll get some sort of response. I just got $180 back from a credit protection agency that had ripped of hundreds of people because I sent a letter directly to the company president and the money was back in my bank account within a week. Good luck Dawn!<BR/>Go Stingrays!Monogram Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00201245389134780751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14601722.post-39502474589269787492007-09-18T09:11:00.000-04:002007-09-18T09:11:00.000-04:00I think the dealerships are trying to take anybody...I think the dealerships are trying to take anybody, male or female! We had an estimate from them on our Jeep, and it was $2000! HUH? So, I took it to the small country repair shop near our house, told him about the funny noise I heard. He IMMEDIATELY had one of his guys jump in and drive the jeep and knew what was wrong. He told me what they could fix cheaper than the dealer, but what would be more because of the dealer mark up on parts. Long story short, we went through that dealers estimate and picked the two major things the other guy couldn't do. They were NOT happy when we wouldn't let them fix it all, and I was not happy when I realized part of the estimate was $45 PER windsheild wiper. So, that is my dealer opinion. I know they are not all like this, but wowee... (The other guys fixed all the other stuff for $250! saved us over $800!!)Judehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708582691461099965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14601722.post-68058881772815823972007-09-18T00:25:00.000-04:002007-09-18T00:25:00.000-04:00$2300 worth of work and more money on top? i can N...$2300 worth of work and more money on top? i can NOT picture that. i used to be a letter writer in my first life. i don't recall it doing me much good.<BR/><BR/>i totally agree: mechanics see women as cash cows. i suggest you find a new mechanic. good luck!<BR/><BR/>:)icanseeclearlynowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17239756059040062016noreply@blogger.com
