Isn't that part of owning a Mercedes or BMW or Audi or any of those high end cars? It's not a secret what they charge for their services and most people know that going into it or at least should. They charge it because they can. I just paid $39.99 for an oil change at the Mazda dealer by my house. I've bought 2 sets of tires from them as well, better than other places. I did not buy my car there, but I have had exceptional service from them and honestly surprised at their pricing.
This wasn't about the dealerships, it was about options and if I could get out at this point. Its a big deal to me, I know if I buy it, its going to cost me more to run it, gas, maintenance, etc. That's not the dealership bending me over, its the way it is. They did not in anyway push me into this particular car, its what I wanted, I've just been questioning my sanity. (and no its not a mercedes, bmw or audi)
I have intentially not said what kind of car as I don't want opinions on it. This is new for me and good to know that I can still change my mind, might **** some people off, but in the end, its my decision.
Thank you all for your input and experiences. I guess this happens more than one would think.
