The Sales Manager. At a major regional dealer. I could not believe the question.

Realizing that he had run the VIN # and was offering me a price based on the value of an SS I quickly said " I thought they looked cool " . Letting him think that I had added these to the car.

They sold the car in a week, bu I can't imagine the conversation when someone pointed out that it was not, in fact , an SS.

If they sold the car that quickly, I doubt they overpaid for it when they bought it from you. Also, insurance companies will identify the car as an SS as well based off of the VIN.

Could the dealer have filled it with shitty fuel? My SS threw a code whenI filled up at Sam's Club once. Never again

I thought they were supposed to be top tier? Hmm. I do have a buddy that swears Walmart gas blew up one of his trucks. I’ve soured on Walmart in general in the last year or two and the station close to me always has lines at the pumps so I just go to a gas station. I live in a city though so that helps

I used cheaper gas for years and it screwed up the injectors in one of my cars. Ran Shell since and been fine.
