Those are just price increases. Ceramic coating is my fav. Just numbers, Baw. Line items just make it look like something you are getting. They did not want to put "You are getting raked" fee.

Most of those add on fees can be removed as easily as they were added.

I agree, but if they start off that ridiculous, I'm not going to waste my time negotiating with them.
It's a 3 yo used car.in Chicago. (Texad car for most of its life).

85-87 is all the money for that car, given miles and ownership history.

But you have to be willing to walk. They tried this on me in Houston with LoJack. Holy hell that was a battle. Never again, I call first now and confirm. If there are any fricky add ons Ill keep looking.

60 months at 0.9 %. Anyone who pays cash when they can get under 1% financing ain’t right in the head.

If anyone pays a dollar for "ceramic coating" from a dealership, they are a moron.

Not if i have the cash to pay for it and the same amount of cash to invest. I’m not cash poor. I’m credit deficient.

The way I beat them at their own game is I’ll email and text to get their out the door price. I even bait them “please include a breakdown if there are any dealer add ons” and they think that means I’m a sucker for it. No, what I do is take whatever they’re charging and I’ll add it to my trade in price that they don’t even know I have yet because I wait to drop that bomb on them when I get their best price over text and show up with my trade in. Wanna add $4000 worth of bs to the car? Cool. I’ll take an extra $4000 on my trade in.
