Pretty sure OP is a prissy non wrenching faggot that takes his car to a "technician" when something goes awry
What a faggot
You're right
I change my own oil/tires, fixed a leaking sunroof but i'm not good mechanically
My local mechanic is cheap but this car is a money pit
Stop believing people when they tell you shit like you need new struts.
You'll know cuz your car won't stop bouncing all over the place. I would bet half of that 4k of work didn't need to be done..
Did anyone ever show you the mounts that came out of the car?
Do you have any proof they even changed the engine mounts?

how could it depreciate so hard? or did you overpay at first?
That's actually what they were all going for at the time. Even the KBB value has taken a massive shit since then, and people are listing them on CL and autotrader for peanuts.
You got raped. No 9 year old econobox should be 12k.
