What else are they going to try and sell me?

So what if you replace the windsheild, will they put it on the next one for free?

Basically it acts like RAIN-X. Nothing sticks to your windsheild and has very little glare at night in rainy situations.

no it's a theft deterrent supposedly, but it's more just another upsell.

Sitting on the lap of someone you love
what I said was "I don't want to make a mockery of your sales process, but I will tell you right now I don't want anything additional you might try to sell me"

I told the sales guy this almost exactly on my last two purchases, something like "tell your finance guy I'm not interested in any extended warranties, teflon coatings etc." In both instances the finance guys still tried to sell me those things and a few other add ons. ****** me off.

i emailed the guy that i wanted a raptor, went into the dealership 2 days after test drove it. Came up with a price upfront... was 6k cheaper than anywhere else brand new around here. I told the guy right there and then.... This is the final price i am going to pay... dont try to sell me anything else because i can do it myself for a fraction of the cost good bye.
5 long months after I get a email saying it's here... went and gave him the cheque took the keys and left and never seen that dealership ever again.

I bought it with... well.... i know some people dont get it..... beating the shit out of it. I bought it because I needed a truck and not a jeep.. and i needed a 4x4 to get to my hunting/fishing grounds. I told the guy what it was for and he just had a durf face :0

The last thing I care about is my paint/body panels ect. Priority goes to all the parts that are moving me through deep mud and able to absorb a huge jump. Oh and rust. Other than that who knows maybe ill give it a new paint job in like 7 years.... i plan to drive this thing until shit starts to fall apart...

Is payment insurance like blinker fluid and muffler bearings?

It's not a bad idea if you're paying over sticker or close to sticker, as many Raptor owners have. it basically covers you against totaling your rig when it's worth less than what you owe on it. That's gap insurance. And then there is payment insurance for if you're sick or dead.

If I'm dead, someone else can worry about making payments.

Check with your insurance provider about GAP insurance. I have it with my policy.

What about the extended warranty? What is the history of these trucks with warranty isssues? With all the electronics on new vehicles I"ve purchesed the extended protection plan. I don't know the cost on a Raptor or if it's worth it.
