$1600 for a Throttle body, are you kidding? They were raping you because you were a girl and had no idea what was going on. A brand new TB is well under 500$ and thats for a polished FRPP TB or GT500 one.. Man, sorry to hear your car went- hope your next car is better. My 06 GT has 50k on it and it runs better then new. I race it daily and beat the ever living **** out of it. I think you bought a used GT and it was a lemon/horribly been abused..

actually my husband was the one that took it in. If I did I would have chewed some ***. (I'm the mean one) I knew that they would be more expensive going to the dealership, but the reason I did was because I had figured the warranty would cover it. And it doesn't matter what dealership now since they already declined most of it. The only part they would cover was $497 for the instrument cluster & the emergency break. So the total is still over $3,000. We ended up filing bankruptcy in December and put the car on the list to surrender it. But so far we haven't heard anything! It's still sitting in the driveway. We just got our discharge last week so we are fine on that. I just don't know what to do with the finance people for the car. If they let me keep it.... Which I know won't happen. But with all of the money I'm saving now, I would fix her up.

If you bought it in 06, and are paying that much on it, i assume the cash value you owe isn't that much anymore. With the cost to repair it, they may vary well just leave you with it. They already made there money off you. I think a lot of it depends what the closing is on the bankruptcy
