Hello to you'all out there. This is a great forum. I am a new member as I just purchased my Armada 3 weeks ago (SE, 4x2, Tow, Bose, Silver Lightning). Awesome SUV. Anyway - thought that I would pass on a story about purchasing an extended warranty. My wife and I originally were not going to purchase one with the new Armada, but after checking out the forum and hearing of the brake issues (mine has the new brake package - made sure of it before I purchased) we decided to add the package to the purchase. The conversation (condensed) went like this:
Finance Guy: "The extended warranty package is $1,800.00 for 5 yrs/60K miles.
Us: "You got to be frickin' kidding. Let me get this straight, for two years extended beyond the standard 3 years/36K miles, you want to charge me $1800.00?? FORGET IT??"
FG: "Insert a bunch of FG gibberish here".
Us: "Your price is a joke - no we don't want any crazy package like this".
FG: "OK - I can give you the same package for $1,300.00".
Us: "You just dropped the price by $500 in the blink of an eye. Can you give me 6 years/75K miles for the same price?"
FG: "Noway I can do that".
Us: "Actually, I think that you can do whatever you want. That is our final offer."
FG: "It is not up to me - let me go ask" ....(wait 2 minutes) .... "OK, we can give you the 6years/75K for $1,500.00."
Us: "We said we do not want to pay more than $1,300".
FG: "Best I can do is $1,400.00 for 6/75K".
Us: "Done".
It definitity is worth it to bargin on ANYTHING!
Have a Good Friday,
ArmadaMike
