I'm sorry but how do dealers through out prices like that while sober?

Why wouldn't they just say "Your car is totaled".

Let's say 8 hours to remove and replace a transmission @ 100 hr equals $800.
$2k for a rebuilt 5 speed (high, I know) with a limited warranty. Let's add $200 for 'stuff'. You're at $3k.

IDK what the PS pump work costs but I'll bet it isn't as much as a tranny.

Are you serious? 100 an hour? If Honda charges 100 an hour what do you think a Porsche dealer charges?

And a porsche dealer charging 2k for a remanufactored tranny? Ford charges more than that for a reman tranny!

The prices you are quoting are just as ridiculous as the dealership. lol

My numbers were not based on Miami. They were based on realistic 'reasonable' pricing.

So double everything. It's still half of the qoute.

It hard to put the words 'Reasonable pricing, Porsche, and Dealer' in the same sentence, lol. Anything at a dealer level puts things at whole diferent level. I never said you can do it for a reasonable price. Its just going to be hard to find that at a dealer level.

If you have ever seen The Collection in Miami, you will know why. It is a museum, monument to the most expensive Marques, Ferrari, Maserati, Mc Laren, Porshe, Audi, Jaguar. Gorgeous models are at the reception desk. You never see a repair bay. Conspicuous consumption at its worst, or best, depending on your point of view.
