Dealer "extras"...
I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but I am close to delivery and my dealer sent the usual email about various optional extras.

The number of people buying those options vary by geography and dealership. I live in an area where rock chips are very common. Auto insurance here has a free glass replacement coverage since its so common. My dealer guessed less than 15-20% actually buy the clear bra/rock protection option. He said more leases buy it than buyers since they see it as a way to guarantee not getting charged for chips. Do you live in an area where lots of people get flats? Have you gotten a flat in last few years or damaged your tires & rim (not including rim scrapes)? If your answer is no then you may be better off saving the hundreds of dollars on the tire insurance. Make up your mind if those options are worth it to you and your situation. Judging by your dealers comments don’t believe anything that he says. He has a tendency to exaggerate to make a sale which isn’t good for a customer seeking reliable information. |

I have trouble believing those numbers too. But definitely don't go thru the dealer to get the 3M stone guard unless you want to pay double what you'd pay if you took the car in to a 3M dealer yourself.
