How about for the U.S.?
A friend at work has a 96 or 97 318ti and the shop quoted her $1,500 for a starter (like $450-500), solenoid (have no idea what that is), and something else. She bought the car new and it now has 60k on it. The $1,500 is just for the parts and includes NO labor. I am trying to tell her to sell the car and get something that is not so high maintenance.
I really have NO idea how this $30k+ car only has 60k on it and has all these problems.
She even said oil changes cost her $45 because you have to have some machine to reset lights on the dash or some $hit.
When she told me about her car and all these problems, made me love my Honda even more
