My water pump is leaking, so I bought a new one, costs $400 to install by a mechanic!!!! I need any hints of advice from any1 or just ideas on how to help me out in this situation.

 

I bought mine for $120 from Nissan, and had it replaced for $250 labor, so yeah.

Reason they chagre so much is because it is run bt the timing chain so they gotta really dig in there to get to it. Mine doesnt leak anymore, so I'm happy.

 

Here is my problem, I already have teh new water pump, but my mechanic told me it would be $400 for the labor alone...
