Make sure you read the list and you're getting everything listed on it, like pinstriping.

Also you can negotiate if you buy sticker you're foolish.
I would never pay for any dealer add-ons. You can get a guy to come to your house and install pinstriping in about 5 minutes for less than 30 percent of what the dealer charges. And, I can't verify that it happens often, but I understand that some dealers will substitute unused, but older and lower quality tires on new cars, because the tires are not part of the car manufacturer's warranty.
