I've gotten a few quotes from them for aftermarket stuff, and it's always less than I expected it to be.

You're going to be obtaining legal representation and going back after the original dealer who FUBARed the motor for your costs, right?

I would be taking this up with corporate. I would use the excuse that there was no way you could have damaged the car since it was in their custody. Not a good situation either way. :-(

Opening a case first, then starting the shít storm.
Unfortunately this is a he said she said battle that's going no where fast. So I'll do what I can do, but I'll most likely have to pay the $2500~ out of pocket and wait for compensation.

That's half the dealer, half is me being broke, you gotta understand that my motor has been dropped and reinstalled TWICE, and the dealership is currently eating the costs, or REALLY working with me to save me money. To take my car off the lot, they want $600 in labor so far of pulling the motor out, putting it in to save space, then pulling it, then taking the valve head off to inspect the cylinder, then putting it back in. That's CHEAP... It's $1100 (assume $1200) all told for labor to put a new valve head on and get the car back up and running.

Honestly, that ain't bad. AND they already gave me a rental for the first week and I didn't pay (although since it wasn't warranty, I should have)

Fortunately I've got a new job, doesn't pay well (yet), but I am finally getting my tax refund, and it should cover everything
