Default Re: Need some sage advice... what to do?

Thanks guys.

Honestly I've referred him to this forum several times... says he intends to join, but I haven't seen him yet. He's a nice guy and I have no ill feelings toward him -- I just don't want to be contacted every time the car has a hiccup. I don't think that's an unreasonable request. When I bought Kim her "new" 2009 Volkswagen CC from a small car lot last June, we didn't even make it home and a check-engine light popped up. The end result? We dropped $500 at the VW dealership to fix an issue within the first week of ownership. We bought it w/o a warranty, therefore we couldn't hold the dealer liable. It sucked, but it was just bad timing.

I feel bad about the situation simply because of the timing... I don't feel "guilty" of anything because there was nothing withheld from him, and on the day the sale was made, everything worked perfectly. I picked my car up from Buckhead in the beginning of June... The issue that they fixed was systematic, repeatable; and after they fixed it, the car never had the same failure again.

That's why I'm not convinced it's the "same" failure. CPS (crank or cam) can cause the same misfire... literally won't know until we can hook up the DashDaq and pull the codes.
