Yes. Always true. My last Oldsmobile dealer was a frickin' nightmare. I'm intrigued by the advice given earlier to get an off lease pre-owned Saab. I've never owned a used car before because of the philosophy that you are buying someone else's problems and my general experience that refurbished appliances always seem to fail prematurely even if they were supposedly brought back to factory specs. It's good to hear your car has been repaired well but I'd like to know, from you and others who have has their cars longer, if once the "small" issues are fixed do they stay fixed or do they reoccur? Is the problem in poor assembly or inherent flaws?
