They never leave more than 1/4 tank of gas in the cars on their lot, most of the time less. It's to prevent theft, or at least to assist in recovery.

Yeah, it's like that. It's standard. I had mine the same way.

My dealer ended up having to wash mine twice, cause I couldn't pick it up the day I was suposed to. And he complained about it being 25 bucks to fill up. He also threw in about $200 worth of repairs to my celica, which was the reason I was at the dealership in the first place.

Wheel Alignment and in 200 more miles I will need an oil change (got the car in March, `03).

Let's resurrect this one....

1. gas cap $17

..everytime the check engine light came, I replace the gas cap and I everytime I did, the check engine light went away.

2. Oxygen sensors $170@ x 2 (Bosch OEM's them for Toyota for $360@)

...took the car on a high speed run from So Cal to Vegas and back on a 105 degree. ..ended up burning the O2 sensors(2) on the header side.

I don't mind you bringing back old threads but chill a little.

Oil changes and wheel alignments aren't things that you needed to replace BTW :wink:
