In my opinion just to make it look more like a factory option. Things like $699 Toyota Patinum Care (for basically two oil changes and a few tire rotations), $299 floor mats, $199 for clear door paint protection (whatever that is), $359 for LED illumination Package, etc... This nonsense can add upwards of $1600 to the MSRP of a vehicle. One dealership even adds an addedum sticker to vehicles, on top of the SE Toyota add-ons. I told a salesman yesterday that if we can't make a deal without this nonsense added to the price, it's not going to happen at all.
Fly somewhere else and drive home. I don't think Delaware has sales tax which should help keep things simple (so you aren't fighting between two states etc.) Even if you break even on price you'll have a nice road trip and stick it to the man.
