Hi folks - I was aiming to purchase the car this week but a few things I'm having issues with the dealership on. To start, I completed a pre-purchase inspection at another dealership and it showed the bushings needed replacement and the volume knob required a software update.

1. They insist I need to purchase the vehicle before they complete any more work

2. I've already put $1k down with a sales agreement being written up tomorrow

Am I being paranoid that the dealer is being disingenuous? Why should I pay for the car before the work is completed? ChatGPT is advising NOT TO ACCEPT or PAY for the car BEFORE THE WORK IS COMPLETED.

What is the community's thoughts?
