pocket burning

geeez....my car is still unfixed...and its starting to burn a hole in d pocket.......US$440fusebox, US$285labor, US$143battery, and now they want to replace another part in the air intake system for around US$600. duhhhh.....all these in 5,600miles, 1.5 yr old car. This in a country where d average Joe earns US$160/month or US$1920/year. My Lex goes for servcing for only US$4.00 an hour. isnt that super cheap for a car that never even breaks down???

i like how d car looks...but its performance is really disappointing. hope this final fix could end all miseries.

Wow, good luck with the car.

Guess the warranty's different from here in the U.S.?

If this doesn't fix it, maybe just stick with the Lexus? That's what I'd do, for sure.
