Nice! that is a good idea. If i walk into the Mazda dealership I bought the car from, would they tint my windows for a discounted price or something?
That will depend entirely on the dealership, and your negotiating skills....lol
I was not in a hurry to buy a new car, and I took my sweet time while dealing with two dealerships.
The first dealer wouldn't do the tinting for free at first, but the second dealer agreed to it right away.
When I went back to first guy and told them I could get it done for free, they also agreed pretty quickly.
At the end of the day, I got all the free stuff I wanted, at the price I wanted and the car I wanted.
One dealership was new, and I believe they were still learning the ropes. The staff was nice and all, but they just didn't seem very sure of themselves.
The dealership I bought from was an established business, with a more experienced staff.
What finally made the difference was that the experienced dealer was able to locate the car I wanted in short order, and had it trucked in fairly quickly.
The new dealership said they couldn't get the car I wanted for at least 6-8 weeks. I didn't really understand why one could get the car, and not the other.
Did I leave any money on the table? Oh, probably.
Note of interest: I traded in my 2006 Altima. I was going to sell it privately and hoped to make a few extra $$, but decided it wasn't worth the hassle.
The other reason I changed my mind and traded it in, was that it developed a problem that was going to cost me a fair bit to fix (if I were to sell privately).
I can say this now, as the deal is done, but I didn't tell the dealer about the problem, and they didn't pick up on it. Whew.
Bottom line, I think I did the best I could and I'm very happy with the car, and that's all that mattered.
