Warning: Don't let the dealer add the interior protection package
almost walked out of the finance office yesterday because they tried to sneak in a 400 dollar protection package at the very last second that was literally just cheap flat rubber squares thrown in the back trunk. do not let them roll this into your financing guys you will literally be paying interest on cheap rubber for 60 months which is insane. tell them to take it off the invoice immediately and just buy the highest quality custom fit protective layers aftermarket on your own time when you get home. I flat out refused their add ons and watched the finance guy get visibly annoyed and now im just trying to figure out which aftermarket options actually fit the factory retention clips properly without sliding under the pedals causing a safety hazard.
im seeing a lot of generic ones online but honestly saving 20 bucks isnt worth a stuck accelerator pedal on the highway. just a heads up to watch the itemized out the door sheet closely because they get really sneaky with these mandatory protection packages and make you feel like you cant say no when you are tired after 4 hours of sitting at a desk
