So they have had my car for a week now and just let me know today they had to order the power steering pump from Germany as no local places had it. WTF.

The called and said "It should be here next week do you want to keep the loner until then?".

I mean that's nice and all but I know the longer the car is there the longer some valet kid is going to shove a door into the side of my car. Call me paranoid.

Anyway just frustrated. I am going to go get it today and reschedule when the part comes in. =\

I just can't believe that you're putting $4k into it prior to sale.

Pay it forward.
I'll be doing something similar to the E38 before I let it go.
Literally.....
Oh well, it's just money.
