I was told years back at Acura that they all come with etching and told them I was walking and the story changed quickly. I now make it very clear in advance with the sales person I will not purchase extras. No rust proofing, no protection package (I have my own insurance), no extended warranty. Research was done in advance and quotes were solicited from 3 dealers I had earlier visited to test drive, each understanding they had only one chance at an offer. I don’t get the high pressure push by the business manager I had years back as they know I will leave very quickly. I swear I was with the business manager 5 minutes maximum this past purchase. I began the conversation telling him I understood what would likely be offerred and that I did not want anything extra at all...no rust proofing, etching, extended warranty etc etc..He gave me some documents showing what was offered and finalized the sale quickly.
