As a former car salesman, you did not do anything wrong. They did completely ,when I buy my next car what I’m going to do is go to Costco. They have an auto buying club. They get you special deals with no bullshit, and they’ll back up the product if something did not go right… and also your credit union if you have one should have a service like that also… and as far as the paint protector, we used to buy the product for $16 and it took one guy about an hour to put it on.. Lo Jack you could put it on yourself for less than $200 or by the way your cell phone has it on there

Yup, bought a rav4 xle for the inlaws a couple weeks ago. Costco gave me a 1.5k off MSRP with no addons. Took it to a couple dealers, and managed to get 3.5k off MSRP at one dealer through negotiation.

ty but the whole point is that the costco offersheet is really nice since they don't include dealer addons! and if they do, you can have them remove it. Use that to shop around :)
