Um, I took my 2015 Nissan into the dealership for a free inspection and they found some bad bushings.
So yeah, for $200 I expect them to put it up on a rack and spend at least 30 minutes with a flashlight (seems like all the defects could have been found in that time frame).

I don't know exactly how much I would over-react, but there would most definitely be over-reaction taking place.
I'D BE pissed!
I'm a pretty calm guy but I have to agree with sammy on this one.

Yep, I have rolled the dice on a few low dollar internet purchases but nothing as big as a car... I learned my lesson by looking at local cars (with picture) on the internet then going to see them in person... egad you can hide a multitude of defects in blurry internet pictures!
