Even "free" it still sucks to make car payments while the car stays in the shop so long. Had a Bronco II set at the dealership for 2 months, under warranty, because they couldn't find the bad injector wiring. And it took 3 dealerships to find the problem.
And 6k doesn't seem too far out of line, for a BMW, because I saw the invoice where the VW stealer charged $2,400.00 back to the "warranty" ...for a blower motor repair on my old VW. A friend paid $2,500.00 for "fuel system repair" on his Jaguar - they replaced 1 tiny piece of fuel hose.
IT WILL BE UNDER WARRANTY FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE IT. besides if for any reason it does go into the dealer for anything substantial they'll give me a bmw loaner car...for free...oh darn
While I agree it sucks to be without your car, but a luxury dealer such as BMW, Benz, Lexus, etc give you a loaner while they have your car, and it wont be a Ford loaner. You get a Lexus loaner.
Hell the Lexus dealer comes to my parents house to pick up my moms car for an oil change, gives her a loaner, and brings hers back when its done fully detailed.
Its a different world working with luxury dealers than a Ford dealer.
Btw what are car payments?
335 > Bullitt
i see a lot of them around here, then again the plant that makes the z4 and x5 is only 10 miles away, and they all look and sound great... they will really surprise you as to how fast they are... i think it might be as quick as the new M5's... but if you think the 335 is quick... wait till the new M3 comes out.... mmm... v8
How would that matter? Paid off my '02 Mustang (including all the bolt-ons) in 2 & 1/2 years. Had enough money when I sold my Mustang to pay cash for a new '06 (below sticker) GMC 1500 and still had money left over to put into some home repairs. Used the truck for what I needed it for, and sold it for almost exactly what I paid for it. Took that money and bought the "European" software upgrade for my Snap-on MODIS, gave donations to 3 churches and spent the rest as a down payment on the 2005 SRT4 that was bought new in April 2006 - it'll be paid off in April 2008. Unless I get rid of it earlier than that, for a Mustang.

You're not serious, are you? The 335 (turbo 6)is no where NEAR as fast as the M5 (N/A 10).
What's that have to do with luxury dealers giving you a loaner car?
I always love the emotions that come out when someone says they bought a new vehicle that's not a mustang and the comparisons begin.
BTW.....I just bought an 04 Jeep Wrangler....its way better than my mustang was.....
Say what? I am not sure why that is relavent but ok.
All I am saying is you will get a much better dealership experience with a "luxury" brand. They treat their customers better. Even if something happends to his car he will get another one just like it as a loaner to drive until its fixed.
IF ford gave you a loaner it would be a Focus or Taurus
Well, charging a Porsche $5,500.00 for fixing a "dirty" fuel system and a Jaguar paying about $2,500.00 for a $3 piece of fuel line/"fuel system repair" - I'm sure the dealers can afford to sling out the red carpet to customers like that.
And my (Ford) dealer loaned me "his" Lincoln once and a nice Supercrew F150 4x4 on another visit. One reason I'm a repeat customer.
