I may be very close to purchasing a new V four (blizzard pearl, ash leatherette) from Glendale Toyota in So Cal. Anyone have any opinion about the paint protection film and if it's worth adding on? The dealer is quoting $750 which I have to verify is for the entire vehicle. Thank you in advance for any imput!
If it is $750 for the whole car that is a decent deal. My local guy has quoted me $600 for just the front end. I have seen a lot of his work and he does an amazing job. IMO it's worth it (to me) because I know I'm keeping the car for the next 10 years. Based on the scratch patterns on my last car I've already had the door cups done. Some people will say it's worth it some not. I've never done it before and the world kept spinning.
Should be a great investment to protect the vehicle, should worth it if you keep her for at least a decade. Price sounds fair to me, get actual opinion on their previous works.
I'm probably not keeping the car long enough, for the expense. It wont affect the trade in value. I didn't do my 2012 (65k miles), the paint still looked "next to new". I suspect that in 5+ years from now my 2016 gen 4 may need an upgrade, depending on the new/improved features.
The dealer will probably farm this out to a local shop. I'd do a little noodling around in the internets and see if I can beat their price on a cash deal.
