i ended up payin a little more on my lease for something like that.
but instead it was just the entire routine maintenance free. so every time i take it in , its free for me, but technically im just paying for it on my lease. i like that better than having to get the money everytime i go tho. rotate tires, brakes, etc etc all thats under the deal for me, maybe it is for you too.

READ before you sign. How can they nail you for an extra grand without you knowing it?

Got no one to blame but yourself on this one for not being aware of the financial details at the time of signing. You didn't get f*cked -- you just didn't do your due dillignece at the time of negotiation......

It's not their fault that you didn't read it. I might have missed an extra $10 but no way I would have missed $1000.

they tried to screw me like that at my dealer with like 2 extended warranties that cost nearly $6000 in extra charges i told them to cancel them and they didnt so i told them that i voice recorded the entire conversation when we did the signing(i really did record) and they told me what i was paying for......... i then told them that i was gonna get a lawyer on them for that and they took all charges alway and gave me my first three oil changes for free.

word of advice, always record all conversations that involve money or property because someone is always out there trying to screw you for what you got
