"Insisted on"??????

Screw them.

GET IN CONTACT WITH A FEW SPONSORS..here or BF. You will be able to beat MSRP for sure on a PowerTrain Plus plan.

Unfortunately many, many dealers will NOT do anything to a car that doesn't have a (1) Symptom or, (2) CBS Indicator.... all will depend on the relationship with your SA over the years.

Usually I will inspect the car closely and put toether a punch list of any anomaly. "Weeping seal at XYZ" or "Radio presets whatever" or "rear hatch jerks when opening"...etc. I compose the text exactly as I want it listed in the Work Order. Even if they don't fix it, the WO creates an 'anchor' in time/mileage so that if it comes up later, I can argue the point. (If they tell you 'weeping is normal', insist that text be placed in their written response.)
