my dealer is telling me i have to pay about $200 for window etching, wether i want it or not

any truth to this? thanks

 

Most of the dealership will force you to pay for etching.....cuz it make decent $$.....

 

Hi Greek,

I don't believe that you should be forced to take any "extras" if you do not want them. Window etching is good especially if your vehicle is stolen. Its a piece of mind thing.
I would check into other companies that do window etching if you are interested in getting it done( aftermarket).
If the dealer insists upon this, I would walk away from the deal or try to have them throw in something for free such as window tinting. Just my own opinion.

Good Luck

I refused to pay that and some some $300 administration fee. Don't be soft, walk away or negotiate something else in your offer.

i was trying to figure out if it was a bs fee. i guess from the responses its not made up. i called a few dealers and all charge 300-400 for admin and window etching.

 

cant you just do this yourself? what window do they usually etch the vin# on.

 

You shouldn't have to pay it. I said I didn't want it and but they did it anyway for free. Although I did pay full MSRP (when the coupe first came out) so they made a killing anyway.
