$1400?? what...?

had a laugh this morning at the Honda dealership..

for a new catalytic converter and centre pipe they wanted $1400cdn. (not installed). Plus I need a gasket for my oil pan, which is another $200.

they had a list of other stuff too, it amounts to more than $2000

anyone in Ontario have any spares?? hopefully NAPA has some cheapies

Oil pan gasket is like $15 usd.

You can get cat and mid-pipe at any muffler shop for maybe $100.

Don't throw your money away.

Going to the dealership for replacement parts is only good if you want to

A) leave laughing or

B) choke somebody

You meant 750 pesos right? Surely no human being would pay 750 USD for brakes unless they were coated with platinum and left a trail of sprinkles as you drove

That's some funny shit... but true... I mean, what Saturn requires calipers and pads that cost that much... unless they were from a Vette or CTS-V... haha.

But congrats, Hybrid, on your new job!
