What additional warranties/protections is the finance mgr is gonna push?

Reading in the forum, it seems like the only additional purchase might be wheel/tire protection.

Are there warranties/fabric or paint protection, etc that make sense?
Anything else I'd want from my dealer?

Anything else I should consider post purchase other than tinting & clear bra?

I appreciate your experience and suggestions! Thanks

 

First, you have a great eye for color

Honestly, I'd personally decline pretty much everything the finance guy has to offer. They are generally high margin and often low value. You can typically get comparable offerings elsewhere at lower cost. For me the one exception may be wheel and tire if you live and drive in an area with poor road surfaces.

 

Agreed on wheel and tire protection being valuable, and everything else won't pass cost-benefit analyses. One bent rim or a couple of punctured tires generally pays for that. On my policy punctures are not repaired, rather the tire is replaced.

You can usually go back for extended warranty protection later for essentially the same price if you decide to keep the car past the warranty period.

 

I generally don't get any additional warranties/protection. That said, I would consider wheels/tires if it's priced right. I hit some debris last month requiring 2 new tires and 2 wheel repairs. Total was about $1400. Didn't want to go through insurance because insurance would consider it a collision (not comprehensive) claim. So a wheel/tire insurance might have been worth it.

 

That car is a beaut!

 

I got the wheel-tire for $1000 for 5 year protection, and after thinking about it I decided to cancel it, but then my Service Rep persuaded me to keep it. One month later I got a nail too close to the sidewall to be repaired. The $500 tire was replaced free of charge and I still have 4 years and 9 mths to go. Sure glad I kept it.
