WoW

so many things need to be fixed??

[Ade]

Maybe should get another mech to take a look at the items that need to be changed? That is one hefty bill...

 

[conan]

wah, very 'labour' intensive - there's labour charge for everything...

So many things to change n ur still cool. you must be rich.
& separate labor for each item.

In fact the seller wanted to sell at RM135k. I took it to the mech and negotiated with the seller for a dicounted price (after minus the few grand repair work). Nevertheless, Seems like most replies indicates that the prices quoted are rather on the high side... Any suggestion for a second opinion from reliable/reasonable mech in KL/PJ area.. Heard of M1 from Kayu Ara area...

Your kind feedbacks are very much appreciated.....

 

[aramis]

One heck of a list...try to get a second opinion...

 

[Chauffeur]

These are all common replacement wear and tear bits for the E46. Price wise it looks about right to me (i.e. not ripoff), but one thing you can chk is when some of the above items was last changed by the previous owner to get an indication if a replacement s needed now or a few months down the road. If it was never done, then ya, its about time la.
