Could there be a benefit that would be worth the extra money or is this just another rip off? My gut tells me to go elsewhere.
Was it Sport City, by chance? Those clowns are ripoffs. Not even artists, but just thugs.

I had a friend buying a Camry there, so I clued her in on what it should cost & how to play their game. When she went back to sign the papers, she whipped out the numbers I gave her & got another $2500 off the car. The salesman went from Rico Suave to fit throwing idiot. He snatched the stupid little first aid kit out of the trunk before she drove off. What a clown.

These bozos had $600 window tint, $150 locking lugs & $100 pin striping on the add-on price sheet. I tell ya, it was like stepping back 20 years to when I bought my first Toyota. I wouldn't be surprised if they were the ones with $300 nitrogen.
