Interesting comment. Why is the sales guy a 'scum bag'? He goes to
work, just like you (or not), sells cars. I don't have any friends who
are salesmen per-sey but hey, it's a job. Or are you one of those
folks that hates dealing with car salesmen because you think you are
getting took?

It's one of the few times in life I have the power to walk away with
my money after making a decision that this person isn't giving me a
great deal.  If he gives me a great deal, I pay. What a damned nice
equal relationship.  You do your homework and you won't get took.

Same as the guy who is the service manager. Know what's wrong with
your vehicle before you take it in. If that's not possible, get a
second opinion and decide who you want to pay.

As far as power steering lines.. Be a MAN. Grow strong forearms. *L*

Only reason I take any of my cars back to a dealer is for a recall. And I now have two cars (2003 Mitsubishi and 1998 New Beetle) both with air bag lights on, which now won't pass Virginia safety inspection. Second time in a year the air bag light has been on with the New Beetle. I'll just keep the old low tech Vanagon!��� Jeff

Where ever you are, there you be. Unless you're driving my van, in
which case, you ain't got there yet.
