Lower my rate by adding the paint sealant... SCAM?
My dealer claimed to be able to lower my interest rate on my Premier Purchase if I went with 2 audi aftermarket products. The choices were gap insurance, paint sealant, and tire/wheel protection. So I'm told if I get 2 for a total of 600 they could drop my rate from 3.5 to 3. This made my payment a complete wash so at 1st I did not give it much thought.
BUT
Are they just holding out on me on rate in order to get me to agree. By doing this it will show a 600 dealer profit. So in short I should probably be getting the lower rate without these add-ons.
I'm probably going to call them out on it when I go in to sign tommorrow morning. Does anyone know if I could call Audi directly and ask them about this?
Thanks
Charles

They might not be financing this through AFS.
But yes, they trying to get you to buy stuff you don't need. So if they can get you 3% with the crap, they can get you 3% without the addt'l crap as well.

SCAM!!. The Gap insurance is standard with an Audi lease. $12/mo extra on a Premier purchase
The gap insurance is worth it on the PP. DO NOT DO A PP WITHOUT GAP INSURANCE.If the car is totalled you could be out significant money. The 2 protection items are additional dealer profit for nothing.

Re: 2nd..Sounds like BS...Ask who you are financing with..
Sorry, yes the financing is through Audi.
As for gap insurance, I carry that with my Allstate insurance.
Thanks
