When I see advertising like this where important things get left out I get a bad feeling. To say there is a 12 point inspection is fine. To print what that 12 point inspection involves would be even better...

I bought my '07 used, it had already had it's 600 and 1,200-mile services done. I took it to the dealer for its next oil change, mainly as I thought I'd probably stretched the chain while learning to work the clutch, etc.
Even that was over $200! I bought the manual, and some nice shiny tools (didn't have anything metric) so the next service will be done at "Botch's Garage and Bait".
