The car was not even properly detailed. There was brake dust on the wheels, not just a little, but almost as if the car had been driven for 20 to 40 miles after the last wash.
A couple days after i picked up the car, i checked my fluid levels. The washer fluid level was half the capacity, the Coolant level was minimum, the engine oil level was little below minimum. The spare tire was not the standard 131 for the 4.4i and was a completely different style, WTF.
It's scary to think the implications had i trusted them and driven the car for 3K miles before checking my oil or coolant level.
This is unacceptable by any standard, more ss for a dealership selling high end cars.

The CPO process at many/most dealerships is a quick car wash, and oil change if you are lucky. It allows them to add 3G's to the sticker and pass any warranty claims back to the mother ship.
Herb Chambers in Boston has a captive realtively wealthy audience and don't really have to go out of their way to sell cars so I'm not surprised.
Anyway, no harm done, enjoy your new ride.
