Being pitched fabric protection or GAP insurance is no big deal. Just opt out and move along. I actually opted into fabric coverage on a lease because my kids were little and BOY was I happy I opted in after they destroyed the back seat with a ruptured bottle of hand lotion.
The process might be onerous but it's far from a "rip off" or some sort of scam. Every car I've bought dating back 20 years had very helpful sales and finance people willing to explain everything. In one case they even disclosed their profit margin in the case of the GAP insurance (6%).
- TedDoesntTalk 3y agoIt shouldn't take 4 hours to drive off the lot with the car after agreeing on a price paid in cash. My experience.
- kube-system 3y agoIn my experience, it's PDI that takes forever, because the techs are backed up. Typically I finance, and I don't spend any longer than 30 minutes signing forms and declining protection plan BS.
- josefresco 3y agoAgreed. Pay cash! I bought an ATV and financed it and that was a mistake. I signed more documents than when I bought my house and I was only financing $6K! Took 1.5 hours despite arranging everything online before I arrived (or so I thought). The next year I bought one with cash, it took maybe 15 minutes.
