Wheel And Tire Insurance: Must Read
Read carefully:
When the dealership offers you a wheel/tire insurance package for an additional 1,000 dollars, you take it! There are so many potholes in Chicago, and when we ordered our 535xi wagon three years ago (with 18inch summer tires, mistake), we did not pay for this package. After numerous new potholes showing up each winter, each day, one of our wheels finally broke. Yes, BROKE. We bought some new wheels (17inch Rial Como) from Tire Rack with winter tires, and that was that. HOWEVER, when it came time to give the car back at the end of the lease, we were reminded that our lease contract states that the car must be returned as it was when new. If there are any damaged parts, or aftermarket parts, you will have to pay for the car to be restored to its original condition. If we had gotten the insurance, we would have replaced the wheels when they broke, FREE OF CHARGE. Don't make the same mistake we made.
Also, if they offer a bumper touch-up coverage plan, get that too.
