Let me start by saying that I hate cars.....
We bought a used Camry from a private party. She gave me all the receipts to all the work that she had done on the vehicle since she bought it new. She always took it to the dealership. One day my huband is driving it and hears a loud noise that he thinks is the water pump and the car starts to over heat. He limps it back to work and I called AAA to come tow it home. We took it to our mechanic (whom is wonderful) and yes the water pump blew up and also took out lots of other fun stuff along the way. So I pulled my receipts and found that the water pump was "replaced" about 3 months prior and there was a serial number on the reciept. I gave it to my mechanic and low and behold it wasn't the same one. HMMM Fishy!! So it cost us about $1000 to fix everything that was ruined. Then we had to take it back in 4 other times with in a month because the oil seal kept blowing. The mechanic didn't charge any of the other times because it wasn't out fault but it was a hassle. After the third time he felt so bad that he replaced my broken door handle and also replaced a bad CV joint at no cost. I turned all the inforamtion over to the previous owner and she is going after the dealership for not replacing the parts that they said they did. YEAH for her!
