I know how you feel about just paying an incorrect bill just to get out of there. I did the same thing and then a few days later, went back and calmly and politely explained the situation and how the bill was too much and the service manager refunded my CC on the spot. It wouldn't hurt to have the customer sat. form in your hand also, if you have it.

To all the 2000 SVT bashers mine's been pretty solid so far. As a matter of fact, I was wondering if they had licked some of the common problems. But now that I look at my list, I have had:

Fixed under warranty
- repaint driver-side door because paint did not match under door ding strips
- replace EGR valve (moosing)
- replace p/s pump (leaking)
- new dash (warping recall)
- driver door weather seal (leaking)
- driver door pin switch (interior light and chime would not turn off)
- replace leaky foglight

Other:
- my tires wore out on the inside shoulder @25k, a common problem with contours. Dealer would not do anything, which I frankly understand, because they have no idea what curbs I could have run over. Just get a life of the car alignment deal at a good shop and take it twice a year or so.

The bottom line is, hey if I wanted a soul-less appliance to go from point a to point b, I would buy a Toyota Camry and not have to worry so much about problems.
