Purchasing a vehicle could be a very tiring activity. From the process of looking for the one you want, knowing its features in closing deals could be so much of a headache. If you only do not need a purchase, you would not choose to be in this kind of situation. Add to it the dealers who almost want you to drive your new vehicle without any penny left in your pocket.

With all due respect to dealers, many incidents happen that when you are about to close a deal, pay for your purchase, and drive your new vehicle home,  additional dollars are added up to your purchase due to features the dealer would want you to add to your vehicle. Most of the time, they would do the necessary enhancements to the vehicle without your consent leaving you with no choice but to pay for it. However, you should not let this happen to you.

The most common options dealers would give you are the following. Try to avoid them.

• Fabric protection. The dealers would say this repels stains but it would cost you more than buying your own spray for the vehicle’s carpet.

• Rust-proofing. They could charge you with this for up to $800. However, remember that your new purchase is covered by up to several years of warranty that covers rust damage. Therefore, there is no more need for you to invest for the rust-proofing. If they happen to spray it without your consent, then it is your right not to pay for it.

• Paint sealant. They will tell you that this step would make your car’s paint as fresh as it is new. Don’t accept it; preserving the car’s paint does not really require too much dollar. You only need to regularly wash and wax it.

• Window etching. They would charge you with this for a couple of hundred dollars when you can purchase this in auto stores at $20. Both would just function and fail in cases thieves choose to break your car windows.

• Alarm system. They would sell this to you in the name of security. The need for it is unquestionable. However, aftermarket alarms are cheaper. But if you want to have it, ensure that what they will be installing is a product of a reputable manufacturer.

• Extended warranty. Often, an extended warranty is not anymore worth the money because warranties of today’s vehicles are longer than before. If you want an extended warranty, get it from better independent insurers.

These are some things that they might want you to purchase for them to get extra profit. If you happen to be in this kind of situation, don’t let them fool you. If they would not allow you to choose for yourself, then leave the deal. On the end, you will just win because never will they allow a customer to leave a very significant deal.
