Very True. I work in the service side, and I can say with confidence that the service and parts dept's are what carries a dealership. Out particular dealer (import) barely makes any profit off new and used vehicles. As a matter of fact, last month our service department made $400,000 more profit than the sales department did. I wouldn't be worried about the sales side trying to 'rip' you off.

Dealers are also watched/goverened by the corporate side so that the ripping people off stays to a minimum....Go to Joe Blow's Auto down the road....then get ready to get bent over.



Did I miss it.... or can we hear what kind of pimp mobile it is?
