I would definately push the issue of the cat. Both with Pep boys and the dealer. Then if you don't get anywhere with that, take it to a local muffler shop and see what price they will give you. My bet is it will be a lot less. Personally I NEVER go to a dealer unless it's a warranty or recall...

Could be a security feature. My Chrysler will do the same thing if I try to start with a key that doesn't have the transponder in it. So is he using the same key with the same brain (computer) as before?

Close to the price of a base model Vette. But they all unfortunately lacked something the Vette didn't. - heritage. (and a V8) Not to say they aren't world class for the price, they are in deed. At least they brought back the 350Z. And I thought they were making a MR2 again, or am I...

impressive to say the least. But why aren' they making them anymore?

Soooo, 180-190 hp, but that's stock and I would be modifying the air box and do a cat back exhaust and probably replace plugs and wires along w/ synthetic oil, so that should bump it up a little. What's the Towing Capacity? My boat is about 3500 lbs. No offense taken on anything, so don't...

No, didn't forget about the Supra. Great car, good looks, even wanted one for a while. But it still doesn't have a V8 or the "feel" or the rumble of the V8. Mustangs have been voted best bang for the buck so many times I can't count. Plus they're still making them. Haven't seen to many Supras...

Careful what you say about Fords. I happen to be big Ford man. At the same time I know the Ex's have transmission issues. I can't wait till I can afford one of the new Mustang GT's. Sorry but Toyota just doesn't have anything to compare to that or even the muscle cars of the '60's and '70's...

Don't know about your dealer, But i had a Chrysler with the same problem and I went to the dealer, they re-programmed it for free. I would try that route first

I see a lot of people viewing this thread, but no replys as of yet. Does that mean there are no issues whatsoever? I plan on eventually hitting the 200,000 mile club and I would really like to find out if there are any potentially expensive problems that occur occaiaionally on these trucks. If...

I'm also looking to buy a used runner. Probably somewhere in the '99 to '01 range. I've read some replys to a recent post on basically the same subject, but I have a few more questions. I was kinda looking at Explorers as well, but after signing onto a forum for those I learned that there are...
