Some new car dealerships add "bump stickers" to their vehicles that include additional unnecessary add-ons like paint sealant, undercoating, VIN security etching etc. Also their paper work documentation fees are usually well inflated. Extended warranty is another add- on that may or may not be of interest to you. Then there is freight which is usually part of the selling price. Finance charges, taxes (both sale and property) are also part of the sale.
