Wow.... just read the comments from the dealer

The build cost $375K. We are a high end shop. We have every penny accounted for if you would like to come see the receipts. This is what high end work at a professional shop with craftsmen costs. We are not a hobby shop.
375k! Ouch

Ha! $375k...I don't believe it for a second...but even if it were 1/4 that amount, I'd be surprised if you would recover the build cost.

I can't see that being accurate. BUT also being involved with some stuff in the past, these places "book" hours like crazy and sometimes there not accurate but they are accounted for. I've SEEN where the supervisor "looks" over the deal, talks for 20 mins but books a 4hr min. time on the project.

If that is there cost, and they lose $200+, this shop won't be open a whole lot longer.
