CPO 86 with burnt clutch a week after purchase
I recently purchased a Certified Pre-Owned 2017 Toyota 86 last Saturday, May 23rd, it had an ODO reading of 40,670 miles. I was experiencing transmission issues throughout and my clutch was slipping. I suspected a worn clutch and took it into my local Toyota dealer to be looked at (41,490 miles). They're diagnoses were that my clutch was extremely worn, my throwout bearing was worn out and my flywheel was damaged. The dealer service department stated that all of the items plus labor would come to a total of $2400 for a new clutch assembly and new flywheel, with only the bearing being covered under the 7 year/100,000 drivetrain warranty or the 1 year/15,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty.
Is 2400 too much for a flywheel and clutch replacement? What should be the reasonable cost?
Given that I purchased the car a week ago as a CPO and drove it less than 1000 miles, the clutch should not have been as worn as it was, and the CPO inspection should have covered the damaged flywheel.
If my repairs are reasonably not covered by the warranty, is the quoted $2400 too high for the repair? Should I take it to an independent shop? Escalate it to Toyota Corporate?
