I just wish people would take 2 minutes out of their day to call up a parts store to find out they are being raped by markup.
$1300 to replace a transmission seems alright to me, depending on where they get the transmission from. But I think they are scamming you by charging to fix parts that don't exist on your car.
How are gto's overrated? Run you around $15-20k for an ls2 powered 2 door sports car. Whereas a g8 gt is what, 30-40 grand with I think ls2, 4 door family sedan. ok, no thanks.
