You don't have to buy extras unless you want them. If they insist, you simply stand up and walk out. I guarantee they will catch you before you go six feet and forget about that extra.

People forget sometimes that they are the customer. The customer doesn't need that particular car from that particular dealer. The dealer, however, needs the customer. Always be prepared to walk away. Trust me - they won't let you do that.
