Marco, that'sa little scary that they're fixing it... 7k$ is a lot of repairs. Bodywork is no problem, but like you say, mechanical gremlins and squeaks & rattles are no good! Hope everything turns out fine.
Shaggy: The electrical problem sprang up again in Montreal, but my dealership was looking at it... Fixed it actually. See my other post.
The car's still for sale though, I decided to forego my rear doors for a hatch. I'm sure our soon-to-be Great Dane will appreciate the legroom out back when I yank the backseat from the GTI.
