I'm assuming they have certificates to prove the paint protection was done? If not, be very sus... take it to a good body shop and they'll be able to tell you if its been done or not.
Just be aware that dealer tint is very cheap and nasty and will struggle to last 5 yrs in many cases. Its always better to go aftermarket - half the price for a far superior product. Oh, and repco sell mats for about 10% of the price that Ford charge....

I disagree with most of that,

demo's are generally driven as normally as anybody would. I dont think anyone is really gonna be going out of their way to flog a base model fiesta.
Also i would go out of my way not to thrash a new demo as they stink to high hell when you do.

From my experiance dealers don't fit their own tint, and send it to aftermarket tinters, but not places like tint professor.

You would have to be a pretty dodgy dealer to claim the car has paint protection on it and not supply, i know in the past it has happened by accident though, but you can usually tell the first time you wash the car whether its been applied.

And honestly who wants cheap repco mats, cmon when your spending the cash on a brand new car its nice to splash out on the ones that are fitted to the footwell and match the carpet.
