And you have been a member this long and have not asked for help... why?
MANY of the problems these cars have can be fixed for next to NOTHING by referring to the threads here. Like the "sticky ignition key" that costs $600 to $1500 at a dealer - with our tutorial, any mechanic can fix it in 90 minutes (probably charge you $150 or so.)
We've had convertible tops that would not work right that we got fixed in a week or so, by talking the owner thru some basic tasks - usually get them going for nothing or the cost of a switch or sensor - instead of the damn dealer's guessing and poking which can run into money in no time.
