I just ordered a new 09 LE Murano Friday the 21st - paid invoice + $200. (I think this was a fair deal) The dealer has offered a protection plan - includes: auto car wash for life of car ownership (one a week) undercoating & soundshield (whatever that is) rust protection paint sealant interior protection all for $997.00 Should I do this & do I need it??? It sounds like a good deal to me please let me know what you all think about this Thanks Scott

Replying to: smacdowe (Mar 24, 2008 4:28 am) "Undercoating" - an old-school method of preventing rust and corrosion from the undersides of vehicles. This is not releveant anymore on new cars and the exposed metals are treated to resist normal exterior conditions. "Soundshield" - I have no idea what that is, so naturally I think its a pure scam. My only thought is that is some sort of coating intended to eliminate excess noise. The vehicle is manufactured to be quiet on its own basis and you shouldn't have to do anything above and beyond that on a quality vehicle. "Rust Protection" - see my "undercoating" comments above. New cars don't need rust protection as their paint and exposed areas are treated from the factory. "Paint Sealant" - This I know is a bunch of BS for sure. Paint comes from the factory with high-quality clearcoat that is strong enough to stand up to environmental conditions. Keep a good coat of wax on top of it and you'll have no problems for 8 years, or 16 year, or more etc... "Interior Protectant" - They charge you the equivalent of $100-$200 to scotch-guard the fabric or put leather-sealer and conditioner on the inside. You can go to AutoZone or Wal-Mart and buy the same stuff for $20 and do it yourself in 20 minutes. "Auto Wash" - This is the only one I could see having value. But you'd need to be close enough to the dealership to use on a regular basis to recoup your money and also make sure they are washing it correctly...ie...not using damaging brushes and actually doing a good job.

Replying to: musky300 (Mar 24, 2008 7:23 am) I really don't blame them for trying to sell it - after all dealers and salesmen are there to make money. Apparently enough of the unwary buy to make it worth their while. |

I just faxed 6 dealers in the Atlanta area to purchase a new 2009 Murano. Two quotes have already come back with $489 doc fees. Has anyone else run into this profit enhancer? Have you been able to negotiate them down or eliminated all together? Personally I'm not to excited about paying this obvious ploy for more profit. Any help will be appreciated. adnips
