It's easy to spend $10,000 if you're replacing everything that's twenty years old and PAYING someone to do it for you. Mechanics labor rates are high now. Lowest I've seen is $55. Highest is $110 an hour. I bet you the $10,000 is from initial purchase price of the vehicle, normal part replacement and the money he had to pay a mechanic to do it. Like I replaced my rear brakes and parking brake lines. I got an estimate from two local shops that wanted between $600-$750 for parts and labor. And that didn't even include the actual drums because mine were fine. I ended up doing it myself and saved a lot of money on my car insurance. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't even let someone do an oil change ever since Jiffy Lube left the oil plug loose on my girlfriends 2 month old car. Let me guess.... you switched to geico? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildman Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Winning bid: US $4,650.00 wow........far cry from his 10K mark :hmm: Will we see it again......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperWade2 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Winning bid: US $4,650.00 wow........far cry from his 10K mark :hmm: Will we see it again......... It's only worth what someone is willing to pay...I agree and have a feeling that there will be some mysterious sale issue and the $4650 bid won't be a "winning" bid resulting in a sales transaction...
