LOL 3 posts ago weren't you saying something about staying on topic Luckypabst?
Yea. I was waiting for that.
Holy snowball

I might be throwin a stick in the spokes here. My neighbor has decided the Jetta is not for him. He wants 2012 quality for $2500. (has a 2011 f150 and 2008 Navigator). Anyway, I bought it back and have relisted for 3K locally.
Unfortunately...it will leave my hands before it gets to 1K...
Kinda makes me wonder what all the mechanics who have done fiber gasket installs before metal came around and the customers didn't come back.
Just do what I usually do. I tell them to bring it back with a six pack and a cam cover gasket when it hits 600 miles. I also tell them if they do not and it fails, its all on them and I won't feel the least bit sorry for them. Of course I tell them this after I have been paid, but most will go ahead and bring it back and seem to appreciate the "after service". I also give them the "old cars are like old people" lecture and wish them luck.
