I needed a new truck so picked up a 2011 F150 Supercab XLT 2wd with the 3.7 for good gas mileage. Got $2500 recycle your ride for my 94 Ranger, $1000 Costco card discount on top of the $9500 rebate for a 2011. Figured it was a pretty good deal getting $13,000 off the original sticker price and getting a lot more than the Ranger was worth. A friend works as a diesel tech at the dealer so he'll get a $100 for referring me there. Really good place to deal with too, no high pressure, buy it right now BS like the first place I went to.
He says the $1540 5 year/100,000kms. service agreement isn't too bad of a deal and insures everything that should be done, gets done. I'm still undecided on that? Talking to him and reading a bit online, they don't think it's worth the money for undercoating, paint protection, scotch guard or rust protection. He says just washing the vehicle really good every couple of weeks is all that's needed since vehicles already come with some rust protection and some of the stuff you can do yourself for way cheaper. I'm not worried about any road noise, the truck is pretty quiet. Of course the woman that did the financing is trying to sell me on all this stuff(commission for her). If I wanted everything together with the service package is over $3600! Looking for opinions on what are worthwhile extra's to get on a new vehicle.
Thanks in advance.
