agreed. i went to a dealership for the 1 yr. service ( $15 headlight clip, oil change and new wipers were the only "new" things put on / in the car ) and left $800 lighter.

they also recommended some things:
- upper strut mount : $1080
- cv boots: $950
- ac line: $765
- rear pads & rotors: $1000

took it to an independent porsche mechanic to do the strut mount: $445. he laughed at the ac line and brake "issues" and suggested replacing the cv boots for $740.

he buys his parts from the same dealer i took it to...

if the person i'm buying my used car from can produce the documentation for the work, that's as important as having the stamp in the book, but maybe that's just me.
