   I agree completely.  Stay away for the Autobarn.  They tried to sell me
an Alfa which they'd been driving around with *no* oil it, ( despite their
40-point inspection sticker on the window ), and then tried to tell me,
'Oh, sometimes that happens when the guy doesn't rub oil on the filter
seal...'

   They're a Volkswagen dealer, and they just got a domestic dealership,
Pontiac I think.  They usually have lots of nice and fairly high-end used
cars, Alfas, Audis, Lotuses, BMWs...
