[DeTomaso] NPT, Toyota Dealer Rip Off

[Jim Gray]

I think it is with all dealers.  It's where they make their money.

Last year I had my old Buick worked on and the guy says "you may need a new
water pump @ $500+.  OR, you can bring me one from AutoZone and I'll put it
on for you."  At least he gave me the option.

The wife likes having her Toyota serviced at the dealer.  Dealers says it
needs a new water pump.  I look at the bill when we pick up the car, $31.50
for coolant.  I comment that it's a little high, and the service guys says,
it's long life coolant and you mix it 50/50 with water.  
 
I've heard of rediculous markups before, but this is like a 500% markup. 
All the greed is not on Wall Street.
