I am going to buy a new TT.
The sale person recommend five protection.
1. Paint protection for can$ 800.
2. Undercoat for can$ 500.
3. Fabric protection for can $400.
4. Tire protection for can $300.
5. Extended Warranty for can $ 2000.
Is it worth to buy those extract things?
Thanks!

I would walk out the door and go to another dealer, and I am not being sarcastic. Just serious

No to 1 through 4, maybe on 5.
Some people like extended warranties, but examine the paperwork carefully to understand what is covered and for how long - Don't go by what the salesperson says. If the TT makes it through the first year (most basic warranties cover for that long) with no issues, then it'll probably be good for years afterwards.

Wow $4000 in extras!
Put that in the bank and IF something goes wrong then fix it.
They only tried to get us for $800 when we bought.

While your at it shop around a little and make sure you got a good deal. These guys are trying to turn you into a profit center.

Extneded warranty is a piece of mind when you know what the contract covers and for how long with what deductible, however $2k is a lot. We did opt for it because almost all TT only have the 1 year. Ours is bumper to bumper for 4 additional years with a $50 deductible and we paid $1k. On a $25k transaction to me it is worth the piece of mind. BTW, the dealer did not try to sell us any of this other stuff or accessories.
Good luck, but you should probably check around some more, even on the deal you got on the TT, JMO.

We're in a pretty bad recession. TT prices are bare bones profit for the dealers. I guess you can't blame them for trying. Once they do get a customer they try to reel in more profits.
You just have to be able to say NO. I don't think that would change my opinion of the dealer if he gave me a deal on an RV.

Maybe on 5. No on the rest. As previously mentioned put your money in the bank and save it for the remote chance you need something done. The only extended warranty that ever paid for itself was on my previous tow van. Wow did they pay. Think of it this way they are selling you something they figure most will not use. Best of luck. Remember to have fun.
