It's been a hell of a journey to get my Z

Alrashwa · 03-05-2013, 12:59 AM

Hi Guys, new member here. I bought a 2013 Scion FRS in August 2012. The day I bought it, the engine died when I pulled into my driveway... The car spent 31 consecutive days, and about 36 cumulative days in the service bay for repairs. Cam gear replacements, fuel pump replacements, weather stripping, water seepage, broken power window switches, body work to fix poor metal forming, etc.

Suffice to say, the lemon laws did their duty, and after a long 2 month process I got my money back in full, with interest. I scoped out my 370Z in Monterey Blue near Seattle, WA last weekend and I finally feel that I have the car that I was meant to buy. Good to meet you all!

Congrats man! Welcome to the club. That blue is one of my faves, but due to my extreme itch to own one, I did not wait.

Seems like it all worked out for the best in the long run

Must have been a hell of a headache though.
