I really hate it when new car dealers had a bunch of crap on that I don’t need or want

My father in law (an 83 year old codger) is trying to buy a Nissan Frontier ProX4...he calls it a Junior Raptor. They added crappy window tint, paint protection, interior carpet and seat protection and more junk. They added $1200 to the price. He told them he didn’t want it...take the tint off, wash that shit off the interior and to leave the car stock. They refused to remove it...but offer to remove the cost. He’s got ‘em down to $28k on a $36k MSRP. He said $26k...they’re at a stalemate.

I really hate it when new car dealers ADD (fixed) a bunch of crap on that I don’t need or want
Such as nitrogen in the tires , How do I replace it if I have the air down off road

"Replace Nitrogen in the tires"

As in paint protection film?

also I’m not talking about that factory option such as the tailgate step actually my wife would like to have that because you’re only 5 foot tall

The really stupid things like loJack AND Stolen car insurance

Just let the air out of the tires.

Peoria Ford in Phoenix does this. Their standard add-on dealer package is $3000 worth of crap. Which of course you don’t find out until you get there to look at a truck.

I ended up buying from them because at the time, they were like the only Phoenix area dealer well below MSRP on Raptors. They also had a truck with options I liked. I got them to eat most of the add on crap.

When I was looking at my raptor, one of the dealer Theodore Robin Ford in Orange county has an add on something about interior protection for 3 years as if something spill they'll clean it and try to detail it etc.. and it was $750 and Low Jack and paint protection for $$2500. I got out of that dealer as quick as I can lol

if you need a tailgate step, then maybe you should consider if you are too old to own a truck???

LMAO....just wait till you young guns get older...and still want to drive a Raptor,,,its gonna catch up with you real fast and you will be that old guy....And sure,all the young guys driving their beat up pick-ups pass and say,whats that Old Guy doing in a SuperCharged Raptor...I just smile and tell them its because my Corvette is in the shop...
Old Age is in your mind....but when it moves to your back..yep...Tailgate Step is nice....

I was just at a Honda dealership in SW Florida and they had add on of 1800 for a 20k car. Looked like ten bucks worth of stuff....Then there was an 11k add on for a 37k civic r....doesn’t happen at our Ford dealer in Indiana.

Hey now!

Had the step and handle thing on my previous F150-4x4 platinum and thought it was silly and a waste of money. So when I ordered my Raptor I chose not to get it. Didn't realize the extra ~2 inch height of the tailgate made that much of a difference. I have to use hands to climb into the bed now.

It is the height I'm telling ya, not my age, now get off my lawn!
