Dealer add ons?

mikemerton · 05-06-2010, 03:00 PM

The absolute worst, most horrible seat in a dealership: the business manager office.

Rustproofing, VIN etching, clear bra, extended warranty, storage charge, overcharge charge, floormat upgrades, keys..."Keys?", "Yeah, they start the car". (Seinfeld).

I leased an RX8 once and kept pushing back on the hard sell. He asked me, "excuse me but you seem really negative about everything, is there a problem?".

I wasn't pissed at the guy because he has a job like the rest of us. It's just such a transparent way for the dealer to make its high profit margin cash and they don't even do it with class.

My 370Z experience was much better. Took an extra warranty year for the price of one of the ultra expensive tires that I know I'm going to lose in downtown Toronto construction zones. The warranty includes tires. He mildly pushed on the other crap but knew he had a cold fish in the chair.

I did also take that tire one year warranty wasnt much and sounded decent...but the other stuff I really wasn't sure.

When I asked him what really was covered by the undercoating and he said it would be a sound dampener; I was like it's a roadster- no roof I will have road noice anyways, Then he said well when you have to roof up and windows up it would be quieter....I said it will be parked if I need the roof up...he then changed the topic
