Pricy Parts, Does this make sence? Options

[MandyGirl94]

I took my car up to the Toyota dealer to get some work done because she was sounding/running awful and before I let them take any more of my money I just want to get some opinions of these prices to see if they are insane or not for parts/labor:

What I got done already:
Cylinder Gasket $24
Grommet $4 ea (x4)
Fipg Oil Pan (not sure what this means) $16
Spark Plugs $10 ea (x4)
Resist Cord Set $72
With labor & tax cost me $426


What I still need to get done:
Replace drive belts $159
Replace oil pan $250
Replace Distributer O-ring $81
Transmission flush/fluid $70
I dunno how much labor will be yet...

Well, perhaps suck-ass drivers shouldnt buy them. Look at all the replacements with the celica misshifts...then people blamed toyota for placing the fuel cutoff so "low" and changing the gear box. I agree with remjay, so many people had miss shifts with the celica then tried to blame Toyota for their mistake. The MR-S is a nice car not as fast as a 91 - 96 MR2 Turbo but it's still fun to drive. I thought about getting one before I got my IS, but since I already have a convertible I didn't see the need for another one. Go test drive one and see for yourself.

Yea, they wont be as "fun" as a turbo [or supercharged] car...what is? Whats interesting is that, IIRC, the new mr2s handle better than the older ones.


hmm
