I went into the dealership for the 40k mile service which involved some fluid changes, tire rotation and brake wear test. I walked out of there $1300 poorer, after they nickel and dimed me for a bunch of other things that came up during the inspection. I even turned down some of the “suggested services.” I won’t be going back there again. Anyone else get this treatment?

    I was buying a new Sienna a few years back. I was in the dealership with my wife and 1 year old son.

    I’m sitting in the finance office and this guy won’t quit. I told him no repeatedly to the point that I’m getting pissed. I finally told him I’ll buy the warranty for $20 per payment so $1200 instead of the $3500 he quoted me. He said yes and hurried up the paperwork. lol

    I didn’t even use the warranty but I figured for $20 per check it can’t hurt.

      The warranty probably only cost a few hundred for the dealership, if they quickly agreed then they were still making money on the deal.

      I got the extended warranty and GAP for $10/month, so only $840 on my certified used Camry I bought two years ago. They kept pestering me too and I didn’t even offer a price that I’d accept because I genuinely didn’t want it but I figured GAP from my insurance would cost about the same so I was getting the warranty for free.
