Hey, you're getting a bargain with the window etching for $189.00. In the Oklahoma City area (two dealerships, one owner group) window etching is also one of the mandatory add ons and they are charging $499.00. Also mandatory is the Clear Coat finish (fancy wax job) for only $995.00. These are just two of the reasons that I also requested my deposit back after they told me that it was going to cost me an extra $2K for the honor of doing business with them. It was really a shame. I have bought several cars (not Saturns) from this owner group without a problem. But I walk into their Saturn dealership and am treated like crap.
This was going to be my first US badged car in many years. Too bad the dealerships ran me off (I visited 4 ownership groups in 3 states and had to disinfect myself after each visit). It looks like I'll have to be satisfied with the Z4 that now has my name on it. It was refreshing to walk into a dealership, tell them what I want, and be able to purchase exactly what I wanted at below MSRP and no hassle at all. It is doubtful I will ever consider a Saturn again.
