Diamond Fusion
Diamond Fusion
I purchased my EVO IX MR a month ago. To lower my APR rate I purchased a few options with the car. Like extended warranty, gap insurance and DIAMOND FUSION. Diamond Fusion is pretty damm good. Its like RAIN X but you dont have to constantly applying it to the windshield. They compress the windshield with N20gasses. This makes the window stronger and when it rains you dont even need your wipers. The water will bead off as you go. They also replace your window if it cracks within 4 yrs. Its a lil pricey. Close to a G. Rather pay for this then a higher apr rate.
I have this glass treatment as well and it's great, however, my dealership screwed something up and i can't make a claim. For some reason they never seem to call me back either, my dealer or Diamon Fusion. I have a small chip thats annoying the hell out of me and i just want it fixed, but yes it is a great product and the water does bead right off. In all honesty i only payed for it just to have the front windshielf warranty, think of it as a piece of mind if your car sees a lot of highway time (dump trucks are b*tches).
I see your in the TRI STATE area. Have you spoke to CHRIS? shes a lady. She called me back. Even came to a VOLVO dealer by my work so I can get the fusion done during lunch. If you need her number PM me.

Yeah Chris did the work on mine too, looks great. The warranty system kind of blows or maybe it's just my dealer. I got this in my car May along with my and im trying to make a claim for chipped windshield, but my dealer hasn't even sent them my warranty??? As far as the APR goes, it didn't seem to make a difference when i got the DF package, since i didn't get anything else.
I dont think its a scam. Your basically choosing what you would rather pay for. HIGHER APR rate for how ever long your loan is for or would you rather spend that money on your EVO. Id rather spend it on my EVO then paying that rate to a bank.

What i am saying is it sounds like they wanted to make you spend more money on the car, or they were going to make money off of you by jacking up your interest rate, either way they were making more money. It makes no sense that your APR would go down, especially a whole 5%, because you are spending more money. I have never heard of that happening. To me, it sounds like they basically bullied you into buying all the extra stuff, but I could be wrong, that is just what it sounds like to me.
The product is actually called Diamon-Fusion (note the missing "d").
If you just want a long lasting Rain-X, try Aquapel. Like Diamon-Fusion, Aquapel lasts 6 months. It costs ~$15 applied at Pep Boys (or ~$6 DIY). Aquapel doesn't claim to improve impact resistance, and, of course, doesn't warrant that it will.

that's exactly what they did. the APR isn't dependant on how much stuff you buy, and actually one thing the banks look at is loan to value ratio. you're actually making the loan to value worse by buying extra stuff because you're jacking the price of the car (and the amount of the loan) up, while the invoice (value) is staying the same. you got scammed. if they gave you 8%, then you had 8% all along. i wouldn't be surprised if the rate was actually lower than that. they can mark up rate up to 3 points on new vehicles. when i bought my EVO IX MR i didn't buy jack but the car. they tried to make me pay for VIN etching in the glass, and some kind of insurance crap for the tires. i didn't pay for any of that crap, and i got a 5.25% rate. that kinda pissed me off because that's the best rate anybody offered. i went in looking for 4.9%. at 8%, depending on how strong your credit is, you got screwed. 13% is unheard of on a new car unless your credit is pretty jacked up.

I do have bad credit. In my situation id rather pay for the better options then paying the bank a high apr rate. What MITSUBISHI did was BUY OUT MY APR RATE from the BANK and gave me a LOWER RATE. The only way to get the lower rate is to buy these options. Like I said. Its a matter if you want to PAY A HIGHER APR RATE in the LONG RUN or do you want to buy options. Its a matter of preference. If you have a GOOD CREDIT MORE POWER TO YOU. but for me im better off with out the high APR.
