Goodbye, Beetle, someday soon.
I took my car in to be serviced today. The window mechanism on the passenger side failed completely, and the wretched "check engine" light was on again. And the window toggles aren't working properly.
This afternoon I got the repair estimate.
Ohmigod. I may faint.
The check engine light entails TWO problems, both of them hideously expensive. And although the window collapse has been fixed under extended warrenty, busted window switches aren't covered. I mean, you ought to have working mechanisms, right?, but it's okay to have NO WAY TO ACCESS THEM. How much sense does THAT make?
I'm skipping the window switches (I can still open the windows from the driver's side).
But it's going to cost me OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS to get my car back.
That's the last straw. I'm going to be selling it. I'll see if I can manage without a car for awhile. If not, I'll buy myself a nice little 10-year-warrantied Hyundai for cheap. Because honestly, I refuse to throw any more money into this thing.
