Common Extras And Upsells
At Closing To Avoid
As you can see from the table
below, extras add up quickly and will impact your bottom line. If at all possible you
should avoid them altogether. Not that the dealer doesn't deserve to make a profit, but "extras" are
worth far more to the dealer than they
are to you!

New Car "Extras" Drive
Up The Final Car Price
Most of the time, it's not just the
sticker price of buying a car that is the problem.
Dealers and salesmen have a way of getting a huge amount of extra money
out
of you for the “extras” or "options".
Many people don’t even realize that they
purchased these "extras" until it’s too late.
