I would get floor mats, MDI and window tint thrown in if you can.
Metallic paint could also be thrown in as it's cheaper on passenger cars ($500)
Reverse camera is a good option to get as it will be of more use than almost any other option.

LOL, how about a free car... amazing how everyone always thinks that there is a HUGE margin in these cars. You be surprised if you knew how little the dealerships make out of these.

I wasn't saying to ask for all of them.
They are the cheapest options and hence one or 2 are the most likely to be "thrown in" as part of the bargaining.

I would read the Bluetooth thread very carefully. You can get the dealer $2000 option for 1/4 of the price if you do not mind some DIY work.

don't waste your money on their bluetooth - it is rubbish and the aftermarket units are probably as good but much cheaper.

Forget all of it and get either Leather thrown in if you can or a sunroof.

agree...for under a grand you can get the kufatec unit installed and it fully integrates...u gota have rocks in your head to pay $2k for a bluetooth!!! Just my opinion....
