There are plenty of good on-line tools as well to assist you if you choose to roll up your sleeves and dig in.
With the dealer, you are paying for the convenience, a decent loaner vehicle, good coffee in the commissary and the assurance that you are getting OEM parts and fluids (which of course you can buy yourself as well).
Good luck with your decision and congratulations on your purchase! You bought an awesome car...

Yes, I am actually planning attempting to do most of these repairs myself, I know there are plenty of YouTube videos instructing how to do so. Thank you for the advice, and thank you, I fell in love with it as soon as I test drove it!
