Why not just buy alcohol it cheaper?

I was going to post the same advice as Tegger but he beat me to the keyboard
:-)

As far as getting Toyota to help with the repair, if it is for the Chrysler
van you just got, your chances are pretty slim. If it is on the tC and it
is within the 36/36 warranty period or you are in good with the local
service department, you chances are pretty good. If the car is out of
warranty and they turn you down for a goodwill repair, shoot for a 50-50
split.

Yeah, it's the tC, 28,875 miles, but they also gave me the 7 year/100,000
mile extended warranty free of charge! (The sales manager was trying to
get $1200 for it!!!)

Jim's not there any more... :( I don't know who is there now. Gordon's
still in parts, but I think the guy who was there (Tom, don't know if you
knew him) has gone along a couple years ago, the other guy was pretty
fair, but it's been under new ownership for 2 years now...

Just have to check and see. I could always take it to the dealer I was
working for a couple years ago; I'm sure since I am a former employee
they'll keep it to only double normal charges... :p

The last owner I dealt with there was the guy who bought the place from Jim.
The tC should still be covered by the original 36/36.
