Biggest repair bill competition
My entry for 2002 4.6is. Service 1, repair passenger window, service transmission, fluid etc. Replace entire cooling system, expansion tank and valley pan as well as radiator were leaking. Thermostat, water pump, leaking valve cover, starter motor borked.

Was looking for other cars i liked more and the only other one I liked was a cayenne turbo, but they are even less reliable.

So let's cross our fingers and hope for another 75k miles

I just got mine back from an indie shop. Took about 5 days and 24 hours worth of booked labor. Paid $2800 walk out, which included replacing motor mounts, front upper control arms and ball joints, rear upper and lower control arms with ball joints, radiator leak fixed, oil change, sunroof squeak repaired, reman rack and pin, alignment, air filter, and detail. Oh and my air bag light was on so they reset it. Now it's driving like a luxury vehicle again and not a chuck wagon . Man did I need all of this done.
