My car's brakes were grinding and barely working, so I brought it into the shop today.
Supposedly it had new brakes on it when I got it from the guy who sold it to me.
I got a call from my mechanic: $443 for new brake pads, rotors, brake calipers and hoses. Reasonable, but seriously car.
FUCK.
This after:
$3,900 to buy the car (in April)
$450 for Charcoal Canister (May and Toyota Dealership fucked it ALL up three times before getting it right)
$500 for tune-up, 4 new tires, serphentine belt, and some other stuff I can't remember (June).
Oh, and half the stuff in the interior, which I should have checked out but didn't, like the center console box, the back cupholder, etc, is broken.
And the interior lights don't work.
And the hood needs a new cable- which I'm putting off replacing right now.
Fucking As-Is.
