[QUOTE="Sick03Vert, post: 13324750, member: 127357"] Devil's advocate here. The reason you were looking at $1k for the tires is simple. $400 for the tires, $200 for mount and balance, $400 profit. Or there about. As for shocks on a 40k car, I've seen cars beat to shit at less mileage than that. You should have checked the shocks to see if they were, indeed, new. Unfortunately, not everyone takes care of their cars. So, $1500 there plus I'm guessing PDI charges and maybe other reconditioning. Well, that adds $2k to the price. So if that's too much, you have two options: 1. Negotiate it down to where you need to be. 2. Leave. The option you took. A dealer HAS to make money on the cars they sell. If they send it into the shop for a repaint, they have to make that money back plus profit. If that puts it out of your price range, you are free to go somewhere else and buy one with more rock chips, etc. that fits your payment needs better. :shrug: All this said, I HATE dealerships and can't wait to get out of the business. It's the shadiest industry I've ever worked in. :mj: [/QUOTE]
