There is a Toyota dealership in the San Francisco Bay Area that sent me an "offer" for a car that I am interested in. However, they added things like "Eco Block" (paint protector) and other nonsense. These were things that often cost $20-40 bulk and the dealership was charging THOUSANDS OF $$$s for it. I laughed at the absurdity of it. The salesman told me that they couldn't sell the car without it. I told him that I would look elsewhere. He actually got angry with me on the phone. So, I hung up on him. A few days later, that same guy sheepishly called me back and offered the same vehicle (with those items already "added") but I wouldn't have to pay for it. I still said, "No thanks." I explained that I'm content on waiting until the inventory is restocked and I can actually compare prices to lock in a better price. This made the salesman irate (again). I then told him that, because of his attitude, I wouldn't buy from him even if he was the only salesman available.

Told the dealership that I didn’t want the 2K to 5K markups on the new vehicle. They replied that I don’t have a choice. I walked! I don’t put up with bullying!

A few years ago a friend of mine was buying his very first car, a VW Jetta brand new car. He put his deposit and went a few days later to sign papers and pick up the car and I went along as well as another friend who had sold BMWs for a long time. There was a charge for an electronic rust protection device which was already installed without consultation or consent for $1.200.00. Our other friend who had worked at a BMW dealership and sold Beamers for years was not pleased that our buyer friend was being fleeced for this, especially since BMWs, WV and Audies are some of the least rust prone cars in the industry (not 100% but high). The buyer wanted this removed but the dealership manager got involved and said it was impossible since it was now part of the car. Manager told the buyer there was a choice... accept it or they cancel the deal and he cannot get his deposit back, period. In effect Don Valley Volkswagon blackmailed my friend to the tune of $1,299 and who knows what else they fleeced from him with their extortion. Stay away from this unscrupulous dealer.

Thank you for listing the 5 items.

Many of these these appear to be near Criminal Fraud.

Excellent video, as I just made a purchase on a new vehicle through Mazda and experienced this very thing of preinstalled features that I could not decline because they were making it part of the sale when in fact the regular MSRP was much lower. I quickly declined and purchased what I wanted that was best suited for my budget and didn’t allow the dealers to pressure me into any additional packages or services. Be careful out there everyone because these dealerships are going through it and will do whatever to take advantage.

I bought the Mercedes Tire/wheel protection for 6 years. It was not cheap ($4300 plus tax), but they changed my tires as I went through a construction zone. So I have brand new tires that were close to $800 a piece. ( it’s an S class coupé with 20 inch multi spoke AMG staggered wheels and performance summer tires. And I had a flat with my winter tire and it was changed too. So I got my money’s worth.

Government must regulale them. Dealers are Abusing the customer banks too.

Thank you. This was a super informative and helpful message. I found this video after doing a search regarding info on these dealer 'extras'. And, exactly as you described, the dealer stated they have already put the EuroGuard, the Clear Shield, and the wheel locks on the vehicle and therefore they were unable to discount the cost of these which totaled $2385. I declined. I look forward to when this madness cools off.

Great list! I have seen all these except the electronic rust protection. We have been shopping and I disappointed how many dealers are running one scam or another. There are a few good dealers out there. You just have to look. They will keep our business when this all ends. You are right that we need to stand up to this, no wonder why people like the Tesla model.

Thank you for your great advice...And for taking the time for your thoughful videos. I just bought a used car from a dealer today. I feel my anxiety going through the roof. Some of this is normal for me, however, I have always been told to NEVER purchase a used vehicle from a dealer. But I have been searching for probably about a month for a decent used low or ok mileage vehicle and like you said there is little to choose from. Even private owners are price gouging...So I guess I am just sharing my experience...

Currently in the market, glad I saw this. Thank you!

Last week I went to some cars dealership. I can't believe what my eyes see! Aside from the add-ons. There's another ADD MARKET VALUE starting from $5K to $9K depending on what dealership you go to. I saw the sticker price for MSRP is $30K. The addition of ADD ONS and ADDED MARKUP VALUE, cause they say "CHIPS SHORTAGES" it will cost me $41K, OMG! That's PISSED ME OFF! Who the hell would pay extra $5K to $9K just because the dealers said ADD MARKET VALUE! It's a RIP OFFS I should never pay.

I'm saving this one in my favorites so that I'll have my things on the sticker to lookout for. Thanks.

I will tell you how the dealership f-ed me over. They offered me appearance protection for an extra $500 and they showed me how they can restore your paint after your car is covered in spray paint. When you look further into the product, it doesn't even cover that. That's like trying to get people to come to your new restaurant because you can make a delicious pizza and when they get there, the server tells you they don't even serve pizza there. Also, once you agree to a price on the car you want with the sales man, then you deal with the finance man (who you really have to not trust and keep your guard up with) and then they start adding on all these extra products. Also, they can lure you in with a cheaper, shorter term product then coerce you into buying the more expensive, longer term product. They are really tricky. My best advice, is to not agree to anything or settle until you get the final contract you want and be ready to walk right out the door. Even if you have to take an Uber home, it's worth it to save yourself from getting swindled.

the dealer for my new civic si tried to tack on a $700 “forever start” fee. All it did was give you a second key fob, and battery insurance. Bullshit.

Is it criminal that CarMax and carvana are offering and charging over original MSRP for USED cars? Because no one seems to talk or care about that but truth is, vehicles have gone up in value.

Every car I have owned I have ordered from the factory through a dealership. It's simple. Just walk in, say you want a car to order. Bring with you a printout or a list of what you want to order. Sit with the salesman and build your car together on the computer. Before placing the order, get a printout, go over it carefully to make sure everything you want is listed and nothing has been added that you don't want. If all is good, place the order, leave a small deposit and come back in 4-8 weeks to get your brand new car. Before accepting the car, go over it carefully with your printout to make sure it's your car with all the options you ordered, color, trim, etc. If everything is good, make a fair margin (profit) to the dealer for placing the order, do a little paperwork and that's it. An ordered car bears no cost to the dealership. There are no overhead expenses, no interest paid to the bank, there's no regional ad fees, no insurance, etc, etc. Your car did not exist prior to arriving therefore it bears no cost to the dealership. The dealer cannot add anything to the car that you did not ordered or you have the right to reject the car. They will try to talk you into buying extras that they will install, but just say, no. Most dealerships don't like ordering cars for customers. It makes no money for them other than the holdback percentage that automakers pay the dealer for the sale. But, oh well.

Now I get it - they do not want to order a car unless you won't budge because they want to tag on extras when you lock in something that is in transit. Ordering in advance, you can tell them what you want. I kept wondering why they would ONLY talk about new shipments and what vehicles were arriving when I told them I can wait and just order a car.

I noped the ---- out of there after getting tired of them wasting my time and found a car with fewer miles for much cheaper and with no pressure to buy right then. Now it did have some mechanical issues that popped up after a few months and their mechanic was absolutely useless (even though they said they provided a "50-50 warranty" on the car) but given what I have heard from other buyers that is pretty par for the course at a lot of places that sell used cars.

If you want Nitrogen in your tires, just go to many different Costco warehouses. Many of them now have nitrogen inflation centers in the parking lot that is free to Costco members.

Tax, title,registration thats it and your insurance before picking up the car. No fees...financing is two options your bank or dealership, but dealership double the points that your bank would give you.

I agree with everything you mentioned, except the tire and wheel protection. That depends on the car you buy and the location where you are driving. When I bought my BMW 335D in 2010, the dealer told me that if there is anything I should get it is the tire and wheel protection. I live in NYC where tires and rims don’t last very long. The tire and rim policy was $1200. It was the best thing I could have done. I went through over $3000 in rims and tires, which BMW replaced for free inclusive of labor. The only thing the policy did not cover was normal wear and tear. It did cover everything else, including road hazards like potholes and punctures from nails and screws which is exactly what happened.

I purchased a used 2019 corvette Z06 and did my research. I purchased the wheel and tire for $1500 dollars. After 6 months I had a cracked rim. The insurance fought it saying the vehicle didn’t have the chrome rims on the build sheet. I found the moroney sticker where it showed that there was the chrome package and they covered the price of the rim and labor to uninstall and reinstall tire. Saved me over $1k so far. But I did my research and those rims are known to crack (China built)

If you pay dealer fees, as I did once, it will haunt you forever. Negotiate the drive-out price net of everything. They won't like that, as they normally reach a price and then add the dealer fees on as pure profit. Of course, you can(and should) just walk away if/when they add those fees.

I already put my deposit of $1100 and waited a year and half for the suv and i went to the dealership to purchase within 24hrs of it arriving and they had literally put all 5 things on this video list on my suv without my permission. I told them I custom made my suv and did not approve these changes and you have over a year to tell me you were going to add this stuff on here. They told me they do it to all their vechicles automatically. I said well that dumb bc your wasting your money by doing without people permission bc I am not paying for it. They tried for 30mins to ask me what portion of the $4000 add on would I be willing to pay for. I said I am already spending 49k and I budgeted for that amount, plus I called 4 months ago asking what would be my final price so I can start getting my finance ready and yall told me 49k. So honor your word and give me my suv before I make another KZread video about my Bronco experience. That did the trick and I got it for 49k.

I asked them to remove the $199 charge, and they told me that Budds Subaru will not remove it and it's part of the sale. No negotiation was possible on the sale price of the vehicle. Instead, I had a smart remark, "you're getting a car that's the deal." What to do when they don't want to take the fee do you cave in or walk away

Im going through the exact same thing right now looking for a Subaru Crosstrek. Dealerships are adding taxes and fees that don't even exist on CarHelpCorners videos. Crazy made up crap! Easy answer is request an OUT THE DOOR COST, tell them you want the final price after ALL FEES AND TAXES. Don't ever waste your time and go into the dealership. They will keep you there for hours trying to scam you. Get the quote on line and when they add on crap tell them to re-write the quote with it removed. Last week I did this at several dealers looking for a Honda ATV. They were pulling the same as car dealerships. They would give an OTD price but with made up stuff. They wouldnt take it off so I said "No thanks, let some other sucker fall for that" and kept looking. FInally found a dealer that was fair and had in stock what I wanted. Picked up the ATV the next day. Don't get scammed!

They refused to sell me a Elantra N today because they need it for ‘display’ in their empty showroom. Insane eh.

This car buying thing is a thing now. People don't go blindfolded to the dealership anymore.... more power to them! :)

I chose Telepathic Rust Protection. They got their most senior psychic mechanic to perform the ritual underneath my new car. Worth every penny!

@3:39, Tire insurance is also prorated.

I think all brand should sell directly. Build garage shops in cities only for test drive, repair and maintenance.

I’m in the Philadelphia area and in need of a new car asap. I got a loan from my bank for this so I won’t do the dealers financing. However, everything is extremely high rite now. I don’t even know wat to do, I’m so overwhelmed

Watch my video on how to shop for a car during the shortage. It should be of help

I need help finding a 2022 Toyota Cross. Can you help? I live in Alabama.

Can you talk about how to get a good K not too bad) deal during the shortage? Like markup fee, or is it still possible to get below MSRP ?

I was looking for ford maverick small truck, I couldn’t order but I sent emails if someone is not going to buy what their order, so, one dealer call me and the msrp was 27k and they are changing 7500 for mark up adjustments, plus tax, lic, doc, and fees. How we can avoid that?

My dealership is trying to get me to buy this 1000 package containing alot of what you mentioned on my factory order. Well, My salesman told me it was included in every deal at the dealership but it costs a 1000. My vehicle has not arrived yet but is suppose to be within a month. It's on The Train. I am really affraid of walking away if i have to as I have a 1000 down already but non of the things on their "Platnum Plan" are useful to me. what can I do? Can I Complain to the manufacture? I also think they are under offering me on my trade is judging by research. Uncle Bobby B

Which Brand of automaker is the worst offender ?

At 1:36, I'm surprised that they're able to add all those extra fees considering an OMVIC dealership is required to include all that stuff in the advertised price.

Dealers break OMVIC enforced rules all the time and often get away with it. Compliance with all-in price advertising is only around 50 percent

Thank you for this important information but I wish I had came across it sooner. I just purchased a used vehicle and I was forced to purchase the interior & exterior protection, unfortunately. I found that cost strange and I asked the salesperson about it and ask if I can opt out of it and she said “no, we they can’t sell the car without it”. The contract is signed and I’ve been driving the car for almost a week so I’m guessing it’s way too late. However, is it to late to try to get that extra cost off? Do I have any options?

I think in most states you have a month to return the car🤔

Many if not most all dealers are putting these products on the vehicle before its put on the lot. Dealers are telling people that they dont have a choice because it is already on it. Rip off!

My dealer asked these. Window Tint $499.00 Floor Mats $312.00 Wheel Locks $184.00

I'm planing to purchase a small SUV. Can you provide me one?

I’m glad I was able to purchase my outback wilderness with no mark up

Isn't it a waste of money buying an extended warranty when buying a new car? Isn't it better to buy it after the factory warranty ends?
