7. Entertainment Package

In the past 10 years it has become extremely popular to buy the entertainment package with a new automobile. If one has children or family members who commonly ride in the back of the car, SUV, or van, then having an in-car television and video system helps keep the auto passengers entertained when driving over long distances. The majority of the packages sold by car dealerships; however, are over-priced when one compares how much an after-market system would cost to buy and have installed by a third party company. Before making the decision to purchase from the dealer, it is recommended to compare pricing options with local companies to ensure one is not over-paying for this popular service option at the dealership.
