that firestone is on main street in reynoldsburg. I dont have to worry about going there again cuz I live in OSU area, I just took the car there cuz that is the area it was being sold in. By the way doing a little math it looks like for labor it was 7 hours at $70 an hour to replace the struts ...

well I was still interested in the car. In light of your comments I would probably have got the car anyway if it were not for the fact that it went to a dealership auction on tuesday. I did do some research on the prices firstone gave me and they are ridiculous. But unfortunetly they were able to BS ...

here is the breakdown firestone gave me:
Front strut:
177.19 part 224.00 labor

rear struts:

all this on top of the stinky oil ...

thanks for the tips.. I am did take it over 4000, when i floored it it popped up to 5K, I doubt seriously that the smoke was from the turbo- after the car was parked i could hear the oil sizzling and after each sizzle noticable (but not plum-like) amounts of stinky white-gray smoke rise. If these ...

Well I have a few questions. First off, I have never driven a turbo car before, but this didnt impress me much, it was very slow off the line and when I floored it while crusing (around 45mph) I didnt feel much more kick then would be made by a normal downshift (it's an automatic) secondly this car ...
