The One Perk On New Cars That Are Not Worth It
Do you know what a lot of new cars now days come with? They almost all come with On-Star and the reason I bring this up is because most people pay for it but never even use it. I know On-Star is supposed to be a insurance type perk for if you get lost, get in an accident or just lock your keys in your car but the truth is most people have a cell phone and On-Star is just another step that takes you longer to get where you need to be. My advice is when offered On-Star for free turn it down and try to get something else.
What most people don’t understand about getting On-Star for free is it is actually going to cost you for every time you use it. Usually car dealerships are able to give you access to On-Star for a month or so and if you don’t cancel it then the amount gets added onto your payment. What you must understand is even accepting On-Star the dealership where you buy the car from will charge you a small fee for their services. When it comes to using On-Star it truly is a great program but as far as a lot of people are concerned, they don’t drive enough to need it and most importantly if they were to be stranded some place they would just call a tow truck or a police officer for help using their cell phones.
The last thing you need to understand about some of the perks you will be offered when buying a new car is some of them are worth more than others. For instance if you were to receive a free 2 year extended warranty then that would be something you would not want to turn down. You need to keep in mind that the longer the warranty is the more your cars value is going to hold up. Remember one thing when it comes to getting free perks with your new car, it doesn’t matter what you get, the only thing that matters is the price you pay for the car doesn’t go up every time the dealership gives you something for free.
