Inspection 2 quotes I just got for my '05 3.0i:

Dealership 1: $390 ($290 b/c I don't need oil change) Forgot to mention that this includes a free loaner car for the day

Dealership 2: $469 (I didn't ask about discount for no oil change)

Indy Shop: $450 (discounted for not oil change, but includes fuel filter)


After hearing all of the horror stories about $800 - 1500 quotes I feel like I'm missing something here...

I asked all of them repeatedly if there were any parts or miscellaneous labor charges that were not included in that quoted price. They assured me that was the full package. I asked them to confirm again that I was not going to show up to the dealership to pick up my ride and be hit with another $100+ worth of charges and they again assured me I would not. They said they will probably come across things that they would recommend I have done, but that as far as the Inspection II goes that is the total price parts + labor.

Am I missing something, or are the dealerships around here just that much less expensive?


FWIW - the salesman I bought it from (talking out his ass most likely) told me it was ~$1200 at their dealership (not one of the ones I called).
