I have to somewhat agree... My car's low cost per mile as quoted by the AA etc is has been severely ofset by high dealer cost for all sorts. Also had anti-roll bars done (thankfully at 59000 miles so under warranty), cambelt at £450, THREE brake sensors at about £60 a pop (incl labour),a total new driver's seatbelt mechanism (£250 but done under warranty), many many lightbulbs of which only the first 3 were fitted free and the last one was £42, a split intercooler at £350, tracking at £220 (from Audi) which is still woefully out and a quote for £180 for two new bootlid gas struts!!! (which I politely refused)... But I still love the car!!! I still believe had I bought my second choice (an Alfa 147) I would have had a list 10 times as long and I would definitely not have had such good dealer service as I have had up to now... I just pray my gearbox and Open Sky don't go!!!
Soon I think it will need shock absorbers... and I don't even want to know how much a set of four will be...
