How to Easily Get Out Of Dealership Add On's

[@rubyredgrapefruit1454]

Arrive at the dealership. Do not go to the office. Walk around to look at some window stickers. If one of them has an "add-on" sticker, leave immediately. Do not waste your time!

Facts

[@traebishop3846]

I had to have this fight with day automotive Ford near Pittsburgh when we bought my wife's expedition. I kept saying, dude we live 2 and a half hours away from here, it's useless to me. But they kept insisting they couldn't get rid of it. We were getting up to leave and they magically changed their minds.

[@Jason-Samko]

@@traebishop3846 😂😂😂 magically! I love it

[@willito1211]

Whenever i see add on fees, i just take my business elsewhere. I dont even try. There are a million dealers out there

[@kirkdunn1379]

exactly, just sop communication immediately and move on......some spend way too much time trying to get one dealer to bend to their will, or judge buying based off that dealership......there are thousands of dealerships

[@zeljkodjukic5889]

Good job man

[@Skyhawks1979]

Last month I purchased a Colorado with an addendum of $3000 in extras as described. The dealer had 30 on the lot. They wanted to move these 2024 units. The minute I baulked at the extra three grand, The sales manager dropped the cost. Got to keep the tint and LoJack. Thought there would be some catch one we got to the finance manager but nope. Ended up being a good deal. Got an LT with an MSRP of $38,xxx for $31,000 plus tax (19 percent off of MSRP). Also got 1.9 percent financing. That dealership has moved 28 Colorado's in the last three weeks.

Outstanding. Very well done

[@jamesh1641]

I’m confident enough in my position I don’t need to lie. You take it off my deal or we’re done. The End. I bought my Lincoln in another state and shipped it because a local dealer refused to remove $2995 in BS.

[@drift6785]

I refuse to even pay msrp. My 24 camry se I got 6k+ otd off msrp. You can do it if you can create leverage and competition amongst them. Do not be afraid to drive or go somewhere a little further if it saves you thousands. Dealerships near me didn't budge to much but the 40 minute dealership from my place was willing to beat it and give me an additional 1,500 off. Be patient and don't rush into things. Ofc timing is important too I bought my car 3 days before the near year

[@nickanderson5825]

They have $63k rubicons marked down under $40k in orlando!

[@jamesh1641]

Umm ok. Where. What dealer. Otherwise this post is useless.

[@mannyburciaga6506]

Hey Jason thank you for your knowledge and willing to help out others not getting screwed over. Me and my sister are looking to get a truck or a Jeep Rubicon what can you help with to try and have them lower the price and not give me all these extra add-ons that I don’t really need on a vehicle is there anyway I could email you or even text you?

[@Jason-Samko]

You can email me thru my website tbwpodcast.com. Best way to negotiate out of the add ons is to tell them you are not paying for them. If they say you have to go to another dealer. Sometimes it takes 4 or 5 dealers to get the right one. But while you are doing that you can also work them against each other price wise

[@willito1211]

Im one consumer that i dont mind shopping miles and sometimes ofber states for a good deal

[@Jason-Samko]

Agree 100

[@D41Michigan]

Them 265/70/17s are a 31.5in tall tire....funny enough that's the OEM size on my Pro-4X 😂 The stock BFG 255/75/17 is a 32.1in tire

[@TheKingOfInappropriateComments]

I have to disagree on this one. I refuse to pay for any add ons and I just won't do it. It's the whole principle of it. I've walked away from deals over that but had no trouble whatsoever of finding a dealership to take that all off. The last two new vehicles I bought, both had window tint installed, didn't charge for it, and the craziest thing is, I would have been willing to pay for that, had they even told me they did it. The past two vehicles had ceramic tint, 35%, and didn't even tell me that they did it let alone try to charge me for it. Where they got sticky was on some add on insurance policy bullcrap and I really put my foot down over that because I just couldn't find the value it it. Nor could they really articulate what it was. It wasn't gap insurance. By that point we were $300 away from making a deal on the truck and they folded. Just have to be persistent and ready to walk.

[@Jason-Samko]

Perfect

[@ksorsomeplace]

Window Tint: I would make the deal contingent on the dealer removing the window tint at no charge to me and subject to my inspection for any damage.

[@buzzboykin9982]

You have the misfortune to be in Southeast Toyota Distributor territory. They add things at the port that you can't delete. Maybe because I'm old and cranky, but if I didn't request it, I ain't paying for it. Even if you go to an order rather than allocation system, US makers in particular will structure packages so that to get one thing you want, they lard it up with unrelated items that you don't want.

[@lespaulguitarist92]

dealer detailed a truck i went to look.. but because it sat on the lot for almost a year, the truck ended up looking nasty.. i told them to either redo the detail or take it off the price because i wasn't satisfied. they decided to take the price off.

[@ericd1632]

Never let a dealership detail your car. They're paying young guys minimum wage and don't give two shits what it looks like when they're done

[@daveola2105]

Let's not forget about the stupid Nitrogen filled tires scam they like to try on customers.

[@Jason-Samko]

@daveola2105 very true. Biggest scam in the country right there

[@wyatt92563]

That Red Wrangler is JK (pre 2018). I'm guessing it is a used vehicle.

[@Jason-Samko]

Yes used

[@kenspencer6640]

Couldn’t you get dealer add-ons for cost?

[@Jason-Samko]

Some dealers might

[@michaelsamora3400]

If I see markups or add ons I walk right out those fees are marked up

[@jamesh1641]

And tell them to remove those stupid dealer decals from the rear bumper. I specifically will not sign the deal until that sticker is off. I’m not doing free marketing.

[@ksorsomeplace]

None of the in-house stuff does anything for me regardless. Hard no on all of them.

[@crafty24]

I an NOT paying for window etching! Its a $20 Amazon kit

[@thyroidstormtrooper]

Tell them to take etching off the price because the acid has compromised the windows integrity😂

[@Jason-Samko]

😂

[@ksorsomeplace]

It needs to be illegal for any dealer to add anything to the vehicle unless specifically requested by the customer. This should also include accessories on the sticker that say "Dealer installed."

[@RealLegend1776]

So the strategy and lesson is to out lie the liars? 😅

[@wyatt92563]

So the dealership 'automatically' installs these add-ons. Well AUTOMATICALLY take it off or don't charge me for it. Why would I pay for something I don't want!

[@JackMeihoff-t5f]

Deny all the BS fees. Window etching, tint, GPS tracking, dealer fees. Walk out.

[@michaellarson7572]

I got hit with doc fee 899.00. They can't remove

[@rubyredgrapefruit1454]

Everything else is negotiable except for tax, registration, and tag fees. That is why each dealership has its own doc fee.

[@Jason-Samko]

I have never been able to remove a doc fees. But I have been able to get them to lower the price more because of the doc fee

[@ronhaynes1532]

Thanks for the great advice and knowledge, Jason. Much appreciated! 👍🏻🛻👍🏻

[@Jason-Samko]

Very welcome
