The one I got is guaranteed for seven years to do what it says it does. No recommendation that I need to have it done after the original coating. I've known people to get it on their cars, too, and they say it is just wonderful. No water spots or anything. The only "personal" experience I have with it is in one of my mom's cars. The seats and floormats were treated with a Teflon protectant (this was in 1998) but was recommended to have it reapplied in about three years. I'm sure there have probably been improvements made in the products since then. Anyways, my stepdad spilled his coffee all over the passenger seat and driver seat and also all over the floor. It did not soak in or stain or anything!! We were all very impressed. Good thing the car had it on. I don't know that they would have opted to buy it extra but they got it because it was already applied to the interior.

 

you will become good friends with your touch up paint. especially if the car will be your daily driver.

 

Thanks for the info and congrats again!

It looks like Costco's pricing comes pretty close to S-Plan afterall. What's the sales tax in Oregon like, or how did you get away not paying sales tax? In CA @ 8.25% sales tax, your out-the-door would've been $36,255.00, which sounds about right. Low interest rates definitely are a big incentive...

 

Oregon doesn't have a sales tax. Lucky there, I guess.

 

Wow, what a change since the last thread I read about your situation Bunny. Guess you musta won the lottery eh? Enjoy the car.

 

Pretty much. I got a new job and my schedule works out so that I can fit in 80 hours of work not so much different than what I had been scheduling myself to do various things at home plus work, so basically the only change I will be having is having to drive in to work for one of the jobs!!!

 

Da'HAM! Lucky you guys...

 

Neither does Delaware. That's pretty much all we have going for us. Haha, I kid, I kid.

Here's the plan. If you're on the east coast, you give me $30k and I'll buy an RX-8 and let you drive it. Sure, I'll technically be the owner, but it'll be your car. Bunny will take care of all the people on the west coast. Now, this is definitely illegal and there's a good chance I'm gunna steal your money and never actually deliver the 8, but that's besides the point. Gotta take advantage of that no sales tax!

Who's in?

 

damn that sounds like a deal, when can i wire transfer the 30k?!?

 

as martin would say, DAMN GINA!! 8% is a lot. most city taxes aren't even that high. i think it's only 4% here in AL. may be a lil lower but i'm not sure.

turbo-tax is the shizzle btw

 

Pictures Bunny .

 

The paint sealant is just wax. I know, I sell it in my service department. Same stuff. It does not hurt, but not needed.

 

The fabric protectant is basiclly Scotch Guard you can get at Pepboys. As for the paint sealant, I would complain about waterspots in 6 months and they will reapply it for free. That way it keeps looking good. What is strange is it is made by the same people who make NuFinish.

 

PLEASE DON'T DO THAT! (if it's not too late). This sealant crap is exactly that - crap. It doesn't do jack except seal about $400 to $600 of your money into the dealership's profitability. Tell them you changed your mind and you want your money back.

Then take the money you saved (OK, only about $40 of it) and buy a Zaino kit or a Malm's kit and wax it yourself. You'll get better results, your paint will be better off, and you won't have padded the dealer's profitability.

hope it's not too late.

I have to totally agree. I made the mistake of getting that, and was so happy. Then a year and some later I waxed it, and put some $5 stuff on the inside, and it looked exactly the same. Its a total rip off, don't do it!

 

I have read with interest Bunnygirl's saga. I am very pleased she bought what she wanted and was/is willing to work so hard to have her dream car.

With that....thank you for all you have contributed to the forum as well
