This might be common knowledge, but I’ve made it almost 40 years in my life without knowing this until last week, so I’m posting here in case others haven’t heard of this either.
The normal process at a dealer when buying a vehicle from the lot is having a last step of talking to the “finance guy” (who in reality is just the upsell of extra packages guy). If you decide to buy any thing extra like key protection or service contracts and decide to sell your vehicle anytime before those extras expire, you are entitled to get the remainder of the money back from the dealer you purchased it from.
I’ve purchased extras on four vehicles in a row, and traded 3 of the 4 vehicles in within 2 years. However, all of those contracts were for 7 years/ 100,000 miles.
When I traded-in on the RAM, the upsell guy was nice enough to tell me that I can request a refund on the remaining amount of the extras. I thought it would be a small amount, like $20 or $40. It was $2103, which floored me and also upset me that 2 other times, I wasted thousands of dollars by not knowing. Don’t be like me.
