A good-natured “I hate that”.
Few days ago I was commenting on another thread about super-low spot prices for cars where the owner was just “over it” in the face of high repair quotes.
Today my occasional colleague in the workshop calls me. Got a free Pug 307, with rego and recent timing belt change. Seriously, in good condition, too. The body computer memory cap had failed (as they do) and it lost its bundle (as follows this event). All it needs is the body module reconfigured and the two supplied keys to be coded in again. About 20 minutes’ work with the diagnostic gear I have.
The “gifter” had been quoted $7K by a dealer to fix. Unbelievable.
Why do I hate this? Because my mate didn’t offer it to me even for $200, the mongrel.
