I feel for you bro, I got my 06 gt with 30k miles but luckily it was from a very reputable dealer that offered 7 month warranty with it, I got really lucky with price and everything which is why I feel this car is a blessing, to the point I don't even want a s550 anymore.

but just from the heebee jeebees, this is another reason on my list to never go to an automatic wash again (not even touchless), not to mention you don't even get near as a good wash as even DIY, and it costs 3 times as much and usually has longer lines :/ - seems like a lose lose lose situation to me.
Oh I'm sure it's not the fuel pump. If it was, I'd be having a lot more issues driving the car. Pretty confident the dealership was just trying to string me along and make a few extra bucks. I won't be going there again.

Yea... I hated going through it every time... It's just been way too cold to wash the car myself, it's been too cold to use the wiper fluid, and water freezes within minutes if not seconds(54 inches of snow this year!). Hand washing wasn't an option. I just couldn't stand seeing all the salt on my car one week after getting it... I gave in, it was fine for the first month or so and well... it is what it is now.
