Thanks. I know I am being hosed here but I live in Japan and you have no idea how much these people are being raped by the automotive industry here. The dealer wants $29 for a spark plug, $65 for an airfilter, $150 for the fuel filter, just to name a few common things. They want to keep the car for a whole day for the alignment, when I protested, rather loudly, they offered a loaner free of charge. No wonder they charge $350 for the alignment. Insane. They also want $150 for four bolts that have to be replaced in the front end during the alignment. I will have to check just what they are talking about, on the old 124 there was an eccentric washer that needed to be turned to adjust the camber, the 210 is probably different.
I paid $880 for 4 Michelin winter tires for the wife's A160, the same tire costs about $95 a piece at Tire Rack.
