Victory!!

Well after a month of my Evo VIII being at the dealer and having them try to screw me over $1300+ for a blown head-gasket that they caused I got my car back...And didn't pay a cent. Man I'm so happy! Thanks to everyone who's helped me (including some of the vendors) with my questions/suggestions and countless posts dealing with this issue.

Thanks guys, it really was a very exhausting and frustrating process. I had to compile a folder full of information both on the forums, what vendors sent me as well as what technicians at other local mitsu dealerships all disproving what this particular dealer was claiming. I then threatened to contact the BBB and take them to small claims court. They saw the "ammunition" I had compiled and I think they realized I was in no way tolerating their incompetence and greed.

I should note that contacting Mitsu Corp. was a big waste of time however lol.

Wow, I didn't think that BBB would do so much. I always thought it was reference for bad businesses in practice. People usually don't care if they get reported or not. Good to hear.
