Scratch and Alloy cover from dealer

[clucks]

Hi all, 

Just picked up my SEL (very happy). Dealer offered scratch and scuff protection for around £400 (according to him it covers up to 30cm scratches) and £250 for alloy cover. The youtube videos he sent didnt seem to mention 30cm scratches - what are people's opinion on dealer offered services like this? 

Naturally i was given no real time to think about it so im mulling it over tonight. 

 

Thanks, 

Paul.

£400 is a rip off.

I just bought my gap insurance from these guys and they do scratch protection.

It will probably be a third of the dealer price.

Actually, they sell separate policies.

Should still work out cheaper.

My dealer threw a years alloy insurance in, I don't know why, I didn't ask for it.

Bear in mind it was for 3 years but yeah ive found it cheaper and hes not come back to me with a discount. Found it for £359 and £150ish for alloys. 

Loving the car - just not loving cleaning alloys again :-(
