I know this is off a Maxima topic but my girlfriend has a 2001 vw jetta 1.8t and her turbo is dead and I was wondering if anyone would know a place that sells stock parts that are not at the dealership prices. The problem is we were about to trade in her car for a 2002 Maxima SE but now the vw dealership wants $1000 for a new turbo. She bought the vw new and it has been in the shop 5 times because everything keeps going wrong w/ it. I'm actually looking for a lawyer to get her out of the lease so if anyone knows a good lawyer that would help too, thanks

 

Go get a used one from a salvage yard. Or you could out on http://www.vwvortex.com and ask.

 

PM HitmanSE. He has one, but I don't know if he can sell it.

 

Ill drop you a PM later on if you already have not.

 

You mean this ol thing?

 

5 times???I believe there is a lemon law. If you buy a new car and has substantial problems you can legally get a refund/ replacement???

 

what about the VW warranty??
2Many miles???

 

Also, seems like she's in a lease. If she is, the vehicle should be under warranty regardless of the mileage. The advantage of a lease is that the vehicle is always under warranty. But you'll get raped if you pass the 'allowed' mileage.

 

yeah....01 jetta w/ blown turbo should be warrantiable

 

Look into the lemon law regulations for your state. In California, for example, if you bring the car in with the same exact problem 4 times, you get a brand new one.
