Question VIN Etching and Extended Warranty Help!

Hello! Recently put a deposit for new ES 350, will be closing on Monday. Two main questions

1) Dealer never talked about VIN ETCHING which they are charging for $249 on the purchase order. To my knowledge the car is ALREADY vin etched. As a consumer (of CT) am I correct that I have the right to refuse VIN etching and therefore will not be charged $249 (even though its already done)? Follow-up question: Will they scratch off the vin number or leave it be?

2) Can I buy the extended warranty from Lexus from any Lexus dealer at anytime during the 4 years/50,000 miles warranty of a brand new car? (I don't want to get pressured into buying an extended warranty Monday at a bad price)Also, Anyone want to comment on their experience with getting an extended warranty (price, type, and if its been useful so far?)

Thanks!!
