So the car was ready as of yesterday and I scrambled to get the parts out and rush to Jersey for the swap. Needless to say all the ____ing lights on my dash lit up like a Christmas tree, VSC, TCS, CEL. Constantly on and obviously I can't trade it in like that. All the parts are off, except for the exhaust and the wheels.
I just brought it back to my mechanic so he can replace the O2 sensor and swap my exhaust since a shop quoted me $120 to switch the Cat-Back back to OEM....scumbags!!!!!!!!
The engine was from an 08 and some of the wiring harnesses are different including one of the hoses had a massive hole in it. NICE RIGHT?!
The two bolts that attach the rear struts onto the body of the car are MIA so the dealer is quoting me $69 a piece and would take 2 days to get it in since they don't stock that part (obviously not). That will also be taken care of by my guy (have a shop machine those two bolts individually).
I'm tired as hell, annoyed and without a car. Whoever inquired about parts just hold off for a bit longer and we should be all set.

Just when you though that the Steal-er couldn't jip you out of two bolts...there they go...smh
As of now the hood is spoken for, but the guy is notorious for not having cash and ____ in time. I'm going to find out Monday since I got work all weekend.
Where do you live anyway?

Not really, you'd need to take AMtrack to Penn (NYC) and then the Long Island Rail Road to my house. That's a trip, hopefully the guy I have will come through.
zombies- the car is back at the mechanic I should have it back by the time you get paid or the day after.
