Getting a bodywork protection treatment - worthwhile?

Inchcape Crawley Audi have offered me exterior and interior protection on my new Audi for £459 (their own brand). Is it worth taking this?

That's be at least £300 commission for the salesman and between £59 and £159 for the treatment. So the price is very negotiable.

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
