Chevy dealer near us has add on stickers on all their new vehicles of $1,300 for security stuff, paint protect, interior protection, 5 year warranty for paintless dent removal etc. (we were just there this past weekend and shocked how many vehicles were sold from that last time we were there. Big dealer, the lot was overflowing 2 months ago and now its slim pickings. Even the electric Equonix's are gone.
We purchased a 2025 Gas Equinox in Nov 2024 when going over the final paperwork I caught that $1,300 was added on, however the excuse was they just rolled it out to the front and they haven't put the stickers on yet. Salesman was nice, asked you dont want the car if you have to pay that. I said, no way, we would not be buying the car.
Anyway, long story short I really was going to walk out with my wife. Saleman said to hold on, went to the "booth" finance manager came over to tell us what a great package it is. I didnt let her talk, I said, it wasn't on the window and we wouldnt be sitting here if it was. She said can I explain what it is? I said no
That was the end of it, they took it off the price. Salesman was cool, I do admit. He didnt blame us and when we had to deal with her for 0% financing she didnt say a word about selling us anything else. When done we told the salesman that, he said " I think you intimated her" *LOL*
Anyway add on stickers are certainly active here on the coast. We got the stuff they did to the car that they were charging $1300. I can tell the way the water is beading, I also noticed we have Wheel Locks and the spares in the glove compartment etc
I wanted a 4 door Wrangler, she wanted better gas mileage. We compromised and got this.
