Sounds like you made out pretty well all things considered. I wouldn't be mad at all that labor for 4K

I gather he never offered tp pay for making things right. Carma will get him in the end. Sad however there are so many cheats in the world!

agreed...it's not trivial, but it's not obscene and in the end the car will be a well sorted machine.

Congrats again OP, i hope your positive attitude results in all sorts of good car karma (carma?) and makes for lots of great memories with your Turbo.

Should be a great drive. Car needed a couple air injection associated parts replaced so should be all sorted!!!

Thanks

The thing I don't understand is that if you were the mechanic who made the mistake, wouldn't you be obligated to fix it? Why didn't the previous owner pursue it when it first happened?

I admire your restraint and philosophy. Not sure I'd have been that cool about it. Wishing you many happy shifts and a dry transmission case!

Ya I hear ya but there's nothing I can do about it. I got so many other things in my life to worry about. I've wasted 5000 bucks on a lot stupider things.

Plus I have a portfolio of crypto currency so my future is set.
Well maybe not. I think I'll have to keep working after all!!!
