Hi everyone,

To make a long story short, the dealer from whom I bought an 08' SI from wanted to force me to purchase their "insurance plan" which covers theft of car where I will get some money if my car ever gets stolen. I declined it. At first they say its a mandatory charge, and when I asked them to put those exact words on the lease agreement, they backed off and said, "well then, we will have to take off the wheel locks off your car, and its going to cost you about the same as the insurance if you purchased them". Anyways, I declined their offer. The real question now is, does the car actually came with those wheel locks?

oem wheel locks are optional therefore if you buy a brand new car there wouldn't be any lock on your wheels

alot of dealers put a protection package like mudflaps, door guards, wheel locks, etc and its already installed so they force everyone to buy it. its all waste of $, i ended up stipping off everything they put on anyways. im just glad i said no to the stupid window etching code system. but yeah the car from factory comes with all the basics, no extra addons.

Wheel locks are a dealer accessory, Barrie Honda used to give them to the customer as part of the PDI charge. although at a dealership this spring when pricing out a new civic, they tried a scam charge for tires, claiming Honda Canada Inc told them to do this, although they could not produce and documentation from HCI stating this.
