    Well seeing as I never posted #'s all of the figures you guys have come up with are incorrect....This is what I meant by they pulled a fast one on me. When I went back and looked at the cost of all the add-ons this is what I discovered.

    TEC Tire/Wheel: $795
    Platinum Service Plan (Extended Warranty): $2500
    Maintenance Plan (75k miles of Oil Changes @ 5k intervals): $1952 > That's 15 oil changes @ $130 each

    Now as you can see all of the above is obviously a rip off with the exception that you actually use the Service Plan to repair something on the vehicle that ends up totally the cost or close to it. The the ones who use Toyota to get their oil changes that's all good but I personally like to do all of my own maintenance and work unless it is out of my tool and knowledge capacity.

    Also to @TrdSurgie the repairs came out to around $4500ish, I'll get the exact total and update tomorrow.

    :notsure:

    If the dealership is selling it to you, it's not a good deal lol. They push those service plans HARD because they make a TON of money on them. They'll even offer better financing terms to get you to accept their plan and tell you your payment won't change and the payment is what you need to focus on. :rofl:

    I've bought A LOT of vehicles over the years. They all play the same game. It gets annoying. I have yet to meet an HONEST car dealer/salesman.
