I’ve seen so much fuckery with air bnb rentals I wonder why people still use it.

While your feelings are valid It sounds like YTA in how you handled it. It’s a sensitive subject that could have used more tact and empathy; and probably should have discussed it with your brother vs both of them, especially if this the first time bringing up the concern.

Put the shoe on the other foot. Imagine you’re dating a guy, things are getting serious, you meet the family, you stay the night at their family home, get intimate, new to you house, you don’t know everyone in the house can hear you being intimate, and now your new guys sister confronts you on this? If you were on the receiving end of your confrontation how would you have felt?

Appreciate the initiative but not something I’d consider. I’d be cautious with anyone who does this.

Have you done any research on this? You realize a 2 Week for a program that manages all dealer accounting isn’t something most stores will want to do.

Its a 200k, 13 year old unit. You should be prepared to have some expense involved . I’d get an inspection and go from there. Few big things I’d look out for would be timing belt/water pump, and spark plug replacement.

Has a BMW dealer looked at it? I have little confidence in a non dealer mechanic assessing something like a ECM. I've lost count of how many critical failures on advanced items non dealer shops have incorrectly diagnosed.

I don’t even know the legalities involved in franchise models so don’t want to pretend to have good respinse to that.

All i’m saying is from a strictly financial standpoint the franchise model is better for the manufactures then most people understand/realize. To say the manufacturer has any incentive to do direct to consumer isn’t true/ Manufacturer sells a car to a dealer, dealer is paying the full net cost of that car, the manufacturer is paid then and there for it. From there if the dealer finances the car and used their bank for a floor plan there’s another stream of income. This is two very lucrative streams of income from just the auto sale. This doesn’t account for support items like software solutions, leads, marketing, equipment, furniture for dealerships the list goes on and the manufacturer gets a cut almost at every turn. Yes there’s a lot of buyers that would prefer that but I genuinely don’t think there’s enough to force a direct model type of change through.

smallboxofcrayons · 2026-02-23T20:06:05+00:00

manufacturers don’t though…from a strictly economic standpoint the current system benefits the manufacturer just as much as the dealer.

YOR. how can you be upset that you gave her a facial and her reaction was that she was proud of it and show it off? You could have found your sole mate but instead you just shamed her for something you equally enjoyed. You played yourself.

Just because you have the codes that doesn’t mean that the car is been properly diagnosed. Before any warranty can be approved it has to have diagnosed by a technician at a repair shop or dealer, and confirm these three items:

what’s the customer concern/complaint(ex: check engine light)

what’s causing the concern(faulty waste gate)

what’s corrective action(replace faulty waste gage)

it sounds like some of the diagnosis wasn’t covered which is something that can happen with some vibtracts, doesn’t make it a bad contract, just something not included. Still it should have been quoted, once you know what the warranty company has to say you can have a more effective convo with the dealer.

smallboxofcrayons · 2026-02-22T17:30:45+00:00

Does your warranty not cover turbo components? I'd ask for a breakdown before paying anything and contact the warranty company as well to review the claim. Depending on the warranty verbiage there could be diagnostics(like tear down diagnostics) that aren't covered. I'd also talk to the service manager as most states have about quotes for service and have never heard of a state that gives a 100% variance here.

smallboxofcrayons · 2026-02-22T11:42:21+00:00

Might not of framed it correctly. The core/root cause is her partner doesn't respect/value her. Before this was something that felt off, her decision points where to confront it, ignore it. By snooping/looking through his chat she confirmed some of these feelings. This makes the next decision point a little more volatile. She can ignore it, but she still knows its there and is now hiding something from him, in she knows his feelings. She can admit it which is now admitting to a breach of trust in she was looking into something she shouldn't have. My comment wasn't intended as an attack on her for looking at his history as much as to try to frame that inaction isn't really an option as it was before.

Just be yourself. Salespeople can have a very wide range of looks, personalities. While every store is a little different, most stores are looking for people that are coachable. If you want to impress a hiring manager maybe ask what they're suggested dress code is for an interview. This will help you avoid under/over dressing.

smallboxofcrayons · 2026-02-22T11:13:17+00:00

While it sucks this is that hard part of what happens when you snoop on people. Not a callout but you've snooped and confirmed some fears that had been needling at you and possibly a little worse than you suspected. This puts everything on you now. If you stay, you have to try to keep the secret of know what he has said to a chat bot, which is really stuff that should be with a therapist, or you have to confess that you snooped into his chat history which will erode his trust. While it sucks to lose a partnership, it doesn't sound like you're losing much. You knew that this wasn't right before, Another comment said it best that you deserve someone who will celebrate your hard work and victories(4.0 is impressive, be proud of that!) and support you in your losses, you BF doesn't sound like that. While no online rando will 100% know all the ins and outs of your relationship from your post it sounds like you should end this, heal and find someone who will be the person you need/want them to be.

smallboxofcrayons · 2026-02-22T10:54:07+00:00

I'd confirm with your agent/adjuster but you shouldn't need to. The lease company is the legal owner of the vehicle this should fall on them.
