#1636 of 2596 Re: new buy - protection plan [smacdowe] by musky300 Mar 24, 2008 (7:23 am)
Replying to: smacdowe (Mar 24, 2008 4:28 am) Most of those dealer-extras are completely unnecessary, plain and simple.   "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) Agreed - one of the great scams and big profit items for the dealers. Anytime I am serious about purchasing, I always tell them "No Rust, Dust, Mop and Glo" - usally gets a laugh.   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.

Replying to: musky300 (Mar 24, 2008 7:23 am) I've never heard of anyone being sold that stuff in the past decade. I'm surprised it's even being offered anymore.

Replying to: 2009holdout (Mar 22, 2008 10:04 pm) We had an offers of $31,300 and $31,450 on the same vehicle you described.
#1640 of 2596 Dealer Doc Fees by adnips Mar 25, 2008 (9:17 am)
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 Replies to this message: 2009holdout (Mar 25, 2008 11:28 am) bmr123 (Mar 25, 2008 12:01 pm) dannyo (Mar 25, 2008 2:55 pm) bmr123 (Mar 25, 2008 4:33 pm) and 1 more... bmr123 (Mar 25, 2008 4:35 pm)

Replying to: adnips (Mar 25, 2008 9:17 am) I got a quote yesterday from an Atlanta dealer who wanted $599 in doc fees.. that's the highest I've seen yet. Here in SC, the doc fees seem to be between $299 and $399 which is still outrageous .. My answer to that when they say they can't do anything about the doc fees is, "OK then lower the sell price"... I think $100 bucks for doc fees is reasonable if they are finding you financing otherwise it's a ridiculous profit maker.

#1642 of 2596 Re: Dealer Doc Fees [2009holdout] by bmr123 Mar 25, 2008 (12:01 pm)
Replying to: 2009holdout (Mar 25, 2008 11:28 am) I just purchased a 09 Murano and the doc fee was 139 and the whole deal was basically done online. I was at 2 other dealerships which had 299 and 249 as their doc fees. Those dealerships gave comporable prices and were willing to bring the price of the car down to meet the same OTD as the dealership with the 139 doc fee. 500 doc fee seems outragious. They have to disclose how they are coming up with that number once you sit down to sign a deal. I would find out how they come up with that number and make them lower the price of the car to make up for that high fee. I think the fees are non-negotiable since everyone who bought a car from that dealership could then sue the dealership saying that they were unfairly charged excessive fees that other customers didn't have to pay but the price of the car is always negotiable.
#1643 of 2596 Re: Murano in CT [dpct] by darqchild Mar 25, 2008 (12:54 pm)
Replying to: dpct (Mar 25, 2003 6:42 am) It goes to show you that it matters where you live. I'm a CT resident also. Got my new 2009 Murano LE in Sapphire Blue with black leather interior with everything Except the moon roof, NAV & tow package for $35,065. After seeing other posters say how the dealerships wouldn't give them a break I was a little scared. But I knew what I wanted and the dealership, Girard Nissan of Groton, went so far as to configure it to order from Japan for me because they couldn't find it in the U.S. inventory. Luckily one popped up in inventory search (it was in Texas) a week later. Now I am the proud owner of the ONLY one like it in this part of the country configured like that. SWEET!   I also got a replacement policy for those very expensive 20" wheels. For five years I get at least two flat incidents and one replacement from any Nisssan dealer in the contiguous US. My cost per incident can't exceed $1600. That takes a load off my mind and my wallet.   Just when I thought I was tired of driving I am in love again. This SUV is great and I am glad I stuck to my guns and got exactly what I wanted because it is more than worth it.

Replying to: 2009holdout (Mar 25, 2008 11:28 am) In the Memphis area, I have found some dealers add non negotiable doc fees of $349. And, some automatically add the protection package to all of their cars for $299.95.   I'm looking for a tinted bronze SL w/premium package only [& mats and splash guards], and its apparently a tough find. Found one, but it sold before I could get on it. Told the dealer if he found one to not add the protection package.   None of the dealers were aware of an April rebate.   I don't think all of the internet sales folks are actually searching for me, so I will expand my dealer search, and also participate in the search myself.   Is there any way to just do a specific vehicle search, rather than searching each dealer's inventory?

Replying to: dannyo (Mar 25, 2008 2:55 pm) Why would they tell you about a april rebate? they want you to buy the car now..   Whats the protection package? vehicle etching??   if you go on nissan's website.. you can search the inventories of all the nissan dealers in your area.. you might find the car you want.
