Thread: What happens when you dont keep up with maintenance?

You end up with a list like this:

hood prop clip/retainer is broken (anyone have an extra?)
idles funny/misfires (started after fuel pump/fuel pump resistor/ignition module was replaced)
o2 sensor needs simulator
struts and springs are shot (already ordered)
SC oil needs to be replaced
antifreeze needs to be flushed
trans needs to be fixed (under warranty)
alarm needs to be properly installed (its dangling out of the dash)
exhaust hanger needs to be attached (in front of rear tire)
LF and RR light covers/reflectors on door covers need replacing
lugnuts do not match
engine could use a cleaning
battery should be checked before next winter

New parts waiting to be installed:
new fog lights
fenderwell intake
blackout headlights
new grills

Audio:
sub box needs terminal cup replaced
sub speaker wires need to be properly connected to amp
rear speakers need new crossover
stock front speakers need to be replaced
four channel alpine amp needs to be installed (put between amp rack and rear seats)
carputer needs new docking station

well at least you got a list going.And you're lucky that trans is under warranty. That would have been a heafty bill more than likley

I bought a used car warranty. It's the best decision I've ever made. The mechanic who replaced the fuel pump, fuel pump resistor and ignition module screwed up multiple times (hence why so many parts where replaced). It hasnt run right since then Thankfully its under warranty as well.

The car is going to get a touch up paint job in the spring thanks to geico and some a*hole who hit me.

HOLY CRAP!! The used car warranty just paid out $3600!!! I brought it in for the oil leak recall and a power steering leak and they ended up doing all of it plus:

new power steering rack
trans leak
intake manifolds

Awesome. Looks like you got you're money back already. When you need them you need them. And when you don't you don't

by the time the warranty is up, they'll have paid over $5,000 and only made $1,700

That's awesome to hear.
