After negotiating price?
Just wondering how much people spent in extras after negotiating price of car? I am trying to get an idea of much people tacked on. Like did you buy extended warranty, tire for life program, gap insurance, and accessories. Please list price if you remember. Otherwise, an estimate is OK too.

Only thing left was financing. After the price, I had to deal with the loan department trying to get monthly payments at $700 a month for 60-month term. I only put up $2000 down, and they worked my monthly payment at $750 a month...
It really depends soley on you and what type of person you are. And everything also depends on price they are asking. Prices seem to vary a great deal across the country and you are in Virginia? Remember it's all negotiable!
Warranty: Are you buying the car? Keeping it for a long time? Drive a lot of miles? I'd consider it. Leasing, don't drive much, keeping for short time? Forget it.
Lojack: Check with your insurance company to see what kind of LoJack discount they offer. Otherwise the car comes with a very good anti theft device already. Only way the car can get stolen is if you get car jacked or professionals who will take your car no matter what you do (this is rare).
Pain Protection: Do you park outside? No garage? Lots of trees and digestive impaired birds? Park by sprinklers? Lazy and don't wash your car every week? I'd consider it, otherwise no.
Tire warranty: I'm not familiar with this.
Leather protection: Usually this is grouped with paint protection and it would depend on how long you are keeping your car. As time goes by I noticed leather seats show wear and "crack" because it's a natural fiber it dries out.
Clear bra: I'd recommend only if you bought car, not lease.
Consider vehicles you have owned in the past, how long you kept them, how well you kept them up and if you care about the condition of your car.
I hope this helps.
