Thanks, mylamb. Good info, I'll keep them in mind.

That's because you're not including the time for driving your car to a 2 hour lunch (shows up on your bill as an "inspection drive").

Hi,

I just got a flyer from one of the local Dealers (Carousel Porsche/Audi). It's a Spring Sale and actually, it's not bad...

Batteries starting at $119.95 - too high

Tire for Boxster starting at $125 - not too bad for a Dealer

4-wheel alignment - $179.00 - Not out of site, but a tad high

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

I was amazed last year when I was calling around to the local dealers in the area for a quote for the 30k mile service :

Dealer 1 $850
Dealer 2 $1499
Dealer 3 $1140
Dealer 4 $920
Dealer 5 $1000
Dealer 6 $672
Dealer 7 $1200

I also asked them each what that entailed and they all read back the same list. Obviously I went with dealer #6, but I was amazed that dealer #2 wanted $1,500 for the exact same service !
