[QUOTE="SirShaun, post: 16100888, member: 163618"] US Automakers: Build mediocre vehicles with a good warranty. Spending split between R&D and Warranty, quite a bit out in warranty work. Asian Automakers: Skimp on the warranty, produce precision based long lasting vehicles. More spent in R&D up front, not much out the back in warranty. Euro Automakers: Build throwaway cars, service them long enough, to have the buyer trade it in for a new one. All that being said, if customer service is your goal when buying a car, of course your going to be treated like royalty at a Euro dealer, they want you to buy that polished turd with confidence, and they want you trading it in sooner rather than later. It seems like with Domestic dealerships you have to spend quite a bit of money with them, and be a repeat customer, to get decent customer service. Or else, your just another unhappy customer, and will be treated as such. If your planning to trade in often, and build a relationship with the dealer, then play their games. If your the type to hold on to a vehicle well past the warranty, then the first thing you do when you buy it, is avoid any attachments to the dealer, no ESP, no BS, you want the car and that's it.
