Last time I went to a car supermarket to buy a newish car (cheap sticker price) I was offered:
- gap insurance (I have never written off a car)
- finance deal (silly interest rates)
- paint protection (respectfully declined)
- cheap floor mats
This is where dealers make their profit given the low margins on the basic car price. Paint protection may have been worthwhile 30 years ago in the days of "chalky reds" but an occassional good clean and infrequent polish is all that is now needed.
Out of sympathy I bought the car mats (now changed for something of better quality!)
