That can easily be countered though.

I am trying to remain positive. I love this car other than this problem. I don't want to trade for an '07 and take a bath. I would like to enjoy this for a few years, build my equity, and when the new model comes out in '09 consider a trade then, if I like the new car enough.

Yeah, I would counter that the lemon law gives them 10 days and I've given them 9 months and they still haven't fixed it, not to mention waiting for an estimated date is ridiculuous for a car that I've already paid for. I'm usually pretty good in these situations but I gotta prep.
zphile, honestly, I'd let them replace it with an 07 with similar features and to pay to tint my windows again. I'd also like to be comp'd some shop labor hours for my trouble. Otherwise, they can cough up 15K cash and I'll agree to void my engine warranty and get a built and stroked motor.

I would tell them to pay for the built engine and an APS TT Extreme kit.
I'd still rather have the swap though since I feel even a built engine could have serious flaws since my belief is the engine is a defect in and of itself.
[EDIT] To heck with it. I would still need clutch and exhaust. Good idea though, but swap it!

In all likeliness they are not going to just cut a check for $15K and I wouldn't settle for any less. It's replacement, repurchase, or bust.

When I went to get an oil change and wanted them to document how much I had lost, they had to call a technician over as opposed to the oil change people.
They just drain it, pay no attention to what was left. They actually probably start to drain it and walk away for a bit and come back when it is done.
