in my experience with the vancouver area dealerships,
they will cite the slightess problem they will see. it is basically
a sales job for them. the more problems = more sales.
so, with the list of problems you will get, you can pick and choose
the more pressing driveablity problems your budget
will allow.

cheers!

Consider this . . .

Would you rather have them NOT tell you of POTENTIAL problems, which if caught EARLY may be considerably less expensive to repair in the long run ? ? ?

I had same problem with sluggishness. Check the thread I put up and you can compare. I would like to know what solves your problem also. The thread is NO MORE SLUGGISHNESS ON 300TE

mpyne, i expect the dealership to tell me all the problems
of my car since i am a paying customer. now, whether i
will have them repair my car is another issue.

whenever possible i would rather do it myself like most
of the listers of this forum. otherwise, i'd rather give my
business with the independent shop i know.
