The answer is always not the dealer …

Yeah I figured haven't bought a new vehicle in a few years so I'm not sure if anything has changed.

So we have essentially signed off on a 2024 GMC Yukon XL SLT 3.0L. My question is from the dealership is it worth the underbody, paint correction, and 3M or is it better to go somewhere else to have this done? We are finalizing our deal on Mon but thought I would see what beyond would recommend or any other recommedations in related to warranties or secret negotiations that GM has but doesn't want the public to know ahhahaa

Congrats, 3.0L is supposed to be a great package. I'm sure you and the fam will enjoy that family hauler.

Def. Not the dealer. Also, if you got the rear seat entertainment package or whatever it's called with te tv's, don't. It's garbage.

I will disagree with the "not the dealer" blanket statement. The dealer is always more expensive but the value can also be greater if you use the dealer. Some things to consider are:

- For all of the add-ons, they are done before you pick the car up vs having to schedule appointments for each thing.
- If there is anything goes wrong with the add-on (like films for example) they can be rectified by the dealer at your next service vs 2 trips to the original installer (one for the consult, next for the fix).
- They are ALWAYS negotiable which can help bridge the gap and make the total value stronger
- If you are considering what to actually get, what i have learned is that:

- Extended warranty is never worth it. They don't add value to the car if you sell and if its a lease, you can always send back the lemon if you get one. After fine print, the normal gotcha's aren't usually covered anyways
- Films, always on owned, never on leased unless i have a high chance of buying it out (but i never do)
- Undercoating's, interior sprays, ect, for me are a waste. Im not keeping my car for 20 years and keep them in immaculate shape anyways
- Ceramic w/paint correction will make your vehicle wash better and shine better but doesn't protect shit. Its a vanity add-on IMO but if you are a car guy, then you'd probably want it. Caveat, for black vehicles it should be a must. No water spots.

I mostly lease so i dont give a fuck about most of the above because 90% benefits the guy that buys the lease return, not me. Doesn't add anything to the value at the return.

My new car I had Krown'd at the Airways location. Definitely recommend. I did no-drill only though.

If you hear a clunking in the front end going over bumps it means your sway bar end link has broken. I've replaced 2.

It will happen to you.
