wheel locks

Did your TL come with the wheel lock nut?
I just dont want my dealer to try selling me something
that is supposed to come with the car. My 3g came with it,
and it would seem kind of weird for this to be an option now.

I got a $800 package that had splash guards, mats, and trunk tray, but no wheel
lock nuts. I wish I remembered to check for the nuts before I bought the car.

On my 04TL, 08MDX and my 09TL, the dealer always threw them in at no charge

Mine came with the car. Wasn't even part of negotiations. My dealer does a package of the locks, the trunk tray, trunk nets, etc.

Umm $800 package, did that just include those? Splash guards are $114.75 + Mats are $97.50 + Trunk Tray at $81.75 = $294...where the hell did the other $506 go?

I found the wheel lock hiding behind the spare tire.
I guess I wasnt cheated out of that.

I have no idea where the extra $506 went, but Im not complaining because
I think I got a really good deal on tech... somewhere around $3500 below invoice.

I think that sealant might be it. The mud guards, mats, etc.. where all part of
a $795 package. I think they called it the P-package or something like that.

Cornelius "... somewhere around $3500 below invoice."???

I think he meant $3.5k below MSRP.

I suppose it is just a wax job and you got taken.

Who knows. Maybe I'll end up driving through a meteor shower
or something and my car would come out clean.
