Exhaust Costs?

[gordypix]

My Mum has a T-reg Yaris and today was told by a T Dealer that she needs a whole new exhaust. They have quoted her £1000. Am Assuming it's a standard Toyota part they want to put back on.

Now I know zip about Yarii but come on - U CANT BE SERIOUS. It's a flipping Yaris not a Supra....

Can anyone shed some light on this ridiculous pricing...........

[RossP]

That seems a tad excessive! Did you check with any other exhaust specialists near yours yet?

Ross

[gordypix]

a TAD would be an understatement yes.....

She is down in Wales and just rang me so I told her to tell them they are having a laugh............

What should the approx prices be for a Yaris Exhaust system?

[RossP]

I honestly don't have a clue cos i live in Cyprus, I know that over here it's nowhere near that much, but exhausts over here are cheaper in general. If i was you, get your mum to shop around a bit first, get some quotes, cos goin from the dealer is always going to be more expensive!

Mate, just get one from a scrap yard, itll set you back 50 quid at the most!

[Chappers]

Mr T would...

Remember they quote for like 6weeks labour for a 1hr job :ffs:

A full exhaust system? Sounds like daylight robbery..******s.

[jaxx]

that atrocious!

take it to have a full stainless system made but with normal silencers to keep it schtum and itll cost about 400quid

and last longer than the car!

[gordypix]

They will have to reduce that price - its robbery. The exhaust probably only costs a few hundred at most. And this is the dealer I may be lookng at buying a Celica from..................hmmmmm

[Dougs]

OMG £1000

I brought a new exhaust for my escort (estate) cat back from a friend who worked for ford and got it at cost price £65

Dunno where there getting a grand from im sure

[gordypix]

I know it is a joke - will tell her to inform them what y'all think tomorrow.

[Chappers]

Where in Wales?

****ers

[Envy Performance Ltd]

Why on earth would your Mam need a full exhaust any way, did it fail and emmisions test?

I can get OEM parts if it come to it, but I can't really see why.

Does she have a local ish Kwik Fit or similar?

£1000? Is it titanium?

Ring around and get some quotes, yellow pages etc, if you/she pays that amount then you need a check up from the neck up!

[DJNS]

lol, what is it gold plated or summat?

[knightrider]

i like robs idea a nice hush hush stainless with maybe jus a posh chrome tip

[Yaris-Nut]

It must be a new Fujitsubo with a full stainless cat-back system and a sports cat!

Go to other dealers and shop around mate ... if they're not giving you decent prices then i'm sure Kevin @ envy will!

[s0cks]

Say no - take it to a zorst place with someone who knows a bit about cars (i.e. urself) get them to check it out - may not even be anything wrong.

[breezer]

£1000? u not mean £100?

get that full system thingy one on eBay, i think its fully system, mnight be half system!! £150 and gives sporty noise, lmao

[gordypix]

Right........

Thought it sounded WAY WAY WAY OTT.

The problem actually is the CAT thingy - needs to be replaced and as they can't get the Exhaust off due to corrosion it all needs to be replaced. Add on 2 hours labour @ £65/hour plus the usual 17.5% VAT rubbish and it all adds up to a little over £900.

So I told her to tell them to do a Jim Carrey on themselves with the Exhaust (remember THE MASK).

The CAT i think is around £120 ish + VAT.

[Crisis]

Hehe, classic moment in the mask that. Did they even understand?

£65/hr, I wish I was earning that much.
