The cold weather package are rubber mats. If you don't want the mats, they'll remove the charge. But you'll have the carpet mats as a default.

Also, get them to dump that admin fee. It's a rip for sure. In Toronto, it's $200 LESS at my dealer...try to get them to explain EXACTLY what the admin fee is for; even if you're financing or leasing that $500 can't be justified.

The anti-theft charge is for the etched serial number/vin - basically the vehicle can be easily tracked if stolen
