need advice

the motor in my 8 went out. But the dealer is being cool about and they are replacing it with no problems. What really sucks is i am moving to idaho in two days and i have to go or i will lose my job. So now i am stuck paying for a plane ticket up thier and the coast of shiping my car to idaho. Mazda is not helping me at all with any of the coast even though i have been put into this position because of thier enginering.

it's not their fault you have to move. just a inconvenience that your motor went days before your big move. and if their engineering was so bad, how come mine runs so well?? can't get everything you want dude.

if your job was forcing you to move then they should be the ones paying for your car to be moved as well

Where do you live right now? I think you should take a 1-way flight to pick up your car when it's ready and drive it to your new home.

More importantly, what caused it to let go?

They said the k seal or something like that went out. Dose anyone know of a good company that can ship the car to me, and does anyone know about how much. This move was my choice so the company does not help. My grandmother had a stroke and i am going to idaho to take care of her.
