the dealership.? The car has 105,000 miles and is in excellent condition.
Asian car experts are listed in the yellow pages and are cheaper
Ten year old cars would need some care at at age but scheduled
dates based on milage by the dealer seems too much

If you plan on selling the car, meticulous repair logs like the dealerships keep get you a higher asking price. My BMW has a complete maintenance log, which is key to its great resale value.
After 60,000 mi. dealership maintenance loses it's benefit /cost ratio, because the resale value evens out. After 100K mi, scheduled maint/inspection becomes more critical because parts will fail, but go to the independent repair shops, all the while buyer beware.
