Hi all, this is my first post to the forum.
I purchased my 2017 i3 REX a month ago and have been loving driving it (1,500 miles in one month!). My dealership had just started installing the StarGard GPS stolen vehicle device on all new and used vehicles they sell the same week I purchased my car and charges buyers $695 for this "accessory".
I called this night it was posted online and negotiated the purchase price over the phone. I told them that if it helped price-wise, I'd prefer not to have the device installed. I was told they were sure the device had already been installed, but that they hadn't even had time to detail it yet since it "just came in". I took the car home the next day.
A month later, I get a call from them asking me to bring the car in because they need to perform "service" on the StarGard unit. Really, they need to "service" a GPS device one month after it's supposedly been installed?
1, Does this sound fishy to anyone else?
2, How do I know if this was really installed?
The conspiracy-theorist in me thinks they realized it was never installed and now they're trying to "fix" that before I find out I was charged for something they never gave me.
I've done my Google research and can't find much of anything about this, beyond basic info on what it is.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
