What have you done to your MSP today?

[mazda3gboostin]

damm 4600 for that might as well part urs and buy another one

 

[JaLMP5]

How is he justifying charging that much? What exactly have you "added" that would warrant an extra $2600 of labor? You've already gone this far, don't give up now.

 

[ScratchNSniff]

Idk what to do guys......the guy fixing my car is trying to tell me fixing my car will probably end up costing me close to $4600....which is $2000 more than he originally quoted me. He blames it on the extra stuff I have added. But none of it would come even close to $2000......it's like 48 more hours at his rate......I really don't want to part with the car, it breaks my heart just thinking about it.....just can't see paying that much more.......

Mike, I'd be glad to set you up with Jim...for $1000 he will do all the body work and paint...I told you Bert was the wrong guy from the beginning...not the guy that painted the Miata, but he has painted 3 other cars for me...including the P5...twice...

Just like the shaved firewall, one custom panels that are already done and in. Shaved emblems etc

 

[SCMP3]

And I don't want to give up. It's just tough

 

[msp14]

Don't part out! Just get your car fixed so it's able to get back on the road again and just worry about all the extra stuff later on

 

[SCMP3]

I would do that but the extra stuff needs to be done before paint

 

[Valk]

not to try and butt my head in, but does anyone have an answer for my question? i wont be able to adjust it again, so wondering if i need a new clutch, or new hydraulics.

I'll sell you my shell for cheaper than you can fix yours for. Only 60k miles, titanium, flawless, I just need to pull the power mods to sell them. I'd rather see it go to someone who would use it.

So in the middle of driving I shifted in third, car revved out like it didnt go in so I put it in 4th....... and now im stuck in 4th. Im thinking broken fork maybe? **** this car.

 

[Spiced MSP]

ouch, hope you get it worked out man

 

[destineal]

That's bs Mike.

 

[protege3690]

Yea mike, that guy is totally trying to screw you over. your talking about close to $5000 to fix your car, for that money you can buy 2 MSPs with/without engines in them with clean bodies. not even the bodyshop at my dealership i work out would charge that much to straighten out a frame and paint.

that's low down, if at all possible cut ties with the turd

 

[SCMP3]

I know its bs guys. I plan to have a sit down talk with him this weekend. I'm hoping we can work something out. Cause by my math, we should be no where near that. And when I asked about it, he said that's worse case scenario. So once I sit down and talk to him, I'll let y'all know what's up. Thanks for all the support guys. It really makes . Difference with me....difference between part out and rebuild for sure.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

I figured insurance was covering this since it was an accident.

 

[SCMP3]

Naw. That money bought paid the car off, paid for me to buy it back, paid off a personal loan, and bought my miata. Pretty debt free now. Had to be the grown up with it. And the car was a total loss so they wouldn't pay to fix it. I'm paying out of pocket

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

Oh ok, I got ya.

 

[o0n8]

Had a friend inquire about buying my MSP, being a good friend I talked him out of it since he needs a reliable dd.

 

[SCMP3]

Hahaha very nice.

So it looks like my fc will be sold friday. That's $550 towards fixing the msp..... Be down to 2 Mazdas of my own....
