Dealership Rebuttal Email Script

Hello, Thank you for providing the quote on the vehicle. Upon reviewing the itemized breakdown, I notice several non-taxable dealer charges: - Paint Protection Package: $795 - Nitrogen Tire Fill: $199 Under our purchasing criteria, we do not pay for pre-installed aftermarket dealer add-ons or reconditioning packages. I am prepared to move forward immediately today if you can remove these add-on fees totaling $994, bringing the true Out-The-Door price to $38,205 (inclusive of vehicle price, doc fee of $595, state sales tax, and DMV title/registration). Please provide an updated buyer's order reflecting this adjusted Out-The-Door total. Thank you!
