I think this is why I initially stopped coming on YW, too many ignorant folks that get taken by the dealer, then come on here to vent, or comes on here venting about the dealer ripping people off. It's a blatantly obvious fraud, but dealerships need to survive somehow.


I also don't feel bad in the least bit for any sucker that gets taken by them, either. The very first thing you should do after buying a brand new car is to read the manual: All the service intervals and requirements are listed in there.

Sorry your YW experience hasn't been what you expected, but the OP couldn't care less about that.

You make a valid point, but it would be so much nicer if you could just say what you need to say without the negative tone, eh?

All questions are welcome. Not everybody is an expert at everything, and if people need help and want to ask the community, that's what forums are for! Be nice!
