Cabrio EX V4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 130,000 miles

This is the third door lock fix, which has been the most expensive and least annoying. The first issue occurred in 2007. The laser key was stuck in the lock completely and we needed to call a lock smith in a sh*tty grocery store parking lot at 10pm. The fix was cheap at least.

The second time, the lock was replaced for about 200.00. The third time the fix will again be 200.00 for a lock replacement. This time we'll be relegated to 2 keys: 1 for the door and one for the ignition, but the fix will take 1 day as opposed to 2 weeks. Whatever, we're done with this lemonswagen!
