   This kind of crap is on top of the already existing "You're gonna pay more   
   because it's the dealership."

   That's stressful. I can't stand dealerships. It's great when you can buy cars   
   privately, and when you can get the parts you need from scrap yards.

   The big dawgs have things figured out.
