Came back with $6k worth of work it needs:
window rollers
brake pads (3% left!)
bearing
extremely dirty filters
then all the standard 45000 issues.

Fleeced? It is not the dealer's job to inspect the car on your behalf; that is your job, as in, "let the buyer beware."
That said, this happens all the time, as we guys seem to fall in love with women and cars that we don't fully "inspect."
Hence, the divorce rate and the auto repair business continued success.
Cheer up! This site has the best members on the INET (IMHO) and we will help with info as best as we can.
