So how much does it cost to fix the ABC?

My car has now around 70k miles. I put in her like 3.5k miles/month.

I believe that my ABC started failing... How much is it gonna cost me to fix? Should I trade-in the car and don't fix it?

I'm starting to hate it now... I only had the car for few months...

Thanks

I just picked up the car and convinced my SA to align the car for free, I ended up paying a total of $2245.

The car is going back to the dealer by the end of the month for an ABC flush (around $1000). I have also need a brake job. A lot of unexpected expenses... I'm gonna have to delay the purchase of a new set of rims for the car

I kinda like the new 2013 CL63 rims... I wonder how much they cost... probably like 5-6k

I've owned my 2005 CL65 for a year now and have replace one ABC pump line and both coils, plugs etc.
Being a auto tech all the labor is free by me. I have replaced the fuel filter and tires as well. Got mine for 28k (one owner / friend) with 89k and now have 110k on it. Never driven a car to which I've ever felt safer in. I guess most people don't list that first but driving in So. Ca. via freeways / mock speed nuts everywhere with wife and daughter it means allot to me. OH, its got some power as well LOL.
Love it and will only part with it if a 911 turbo comes my way.
