Addons from Dealer?

EVO_Killer · 08-27-2009, 05:10 PM

I work at a dealership as a business officer selling that "extra stuff" and its not all crap. I Diamond Kote my Nissan (polymer based) and love it. I also sell those rust protectors. The good ones come with sacraficial anodes made of Zinc. Those zinc strips will rust faster than any other metal on the car. The key to buying those products is to barter on the price. There is alot of markup. Should be able to buy Paint & Fabric & Rust protection for about $499. Most places will try to start at $1299.

Fabric protection is 1-2 cans of ScotchGuard... any dealer/salesman who tells you differently is flat out lying to make a sale. Cost? $10-$20

The "Diamond Kote" polymer is no different than the Zaino Brothers polymer I mentioned previously. Cost? <$75 for a complete kit that will last you several years if used appropriately.

Not the best ones... the only rust preventers that work are the sacrificial anodes (zinc is one option). Want to know what another sacrificial anode material is? Aluminum! If you have anything on your car that's aluminum, make sure it doesn't have an anodized coating between it and the car body and you have an automatic sacrificial rod.

I recommend everyone to get polymer sealant on a regular basis, and I also recommend a clear bra. These are the first things I do when I get a new good looking car. Mine were all done profesionally and they work great. I don't have to worry about raining, the sealant does not allow the rain to create spots. In fact rain rinses my car and does not create spots. Clear bra has saved my bumpers too many times to count.

Dealerships are in business to make money some how! so when your going to one you should have a good idea what you want and what your going to pay. all the accessory stuff is there to say yes or no to if your committed then no to what they offer is all you need to remember..
