Closing The DealWritten by Kevin Schappell
Continued from page 1
Once all numbers are crunched and papers are filled out double check everything before you sign. Also look out for extras, which you do not need. Rust proofing is rarely needed as most manufacturers already offer a rust warranty. Also window etching, extended warranties and accent packages are highly overpriced and sometimes useless. Now would also be a good time to inspect vehicle one last time. Check for paint blemishes, how much gas is in car (some dealers will actually empty tank leaving you just enough gas to get to closest station) and that it is exact model you test drove. Now sign papers and drive home in your new car. Pat yourself on back for a job well done.
