LOOKS AWESOM!
Such an exciting moment!
(Fortunately) I can't offer you advice because my dealer doesn't have a finance team. My SA just gave me a printed list of available "extras". I asked a few questions about the tire and wheel protection, and I told him I would think about it. Zero pressure! 😃

I would only consider the "wheel and tire" option. Even that is suspect.
I was talked into that coverage with my Audi RS6 ..... and I'm sorry to report, I wasted my money on that. Granted, I haven't had a claim ....yet.

Don't pay for anything...maybe the service package? Dunno what your dealership agreement was/is but mine I said straight up "I'm not taking anything" and he said fine but when it comes to a future GT3 or whatever he said you'll be required to take some packages...ha!

I got the Tire and Wheel. When I bought winter tires, I bought them through the dealer, though I don't have them do the semi-annual swaps (I put them on my OEM Classics so the tires get changed off the wheels twice a year) and this past winter I had a blowout on one of the rear winters.
Called the dealer, they gave me a number to call, arranged for a tow, car taken to dealer, dealer ordered replacement tire, dealer dealt with warranty claim on the tire, I didn't pay for the tow OR the tire or changing it. All covered by the wheel and tire coverage. No hassle. Granted, at this point the tire was likely less than the coverage, but if I tear up a wheel or bend one in a pothole, that is what the coverage is really for.

I thought I was going to pass one everything, but I wanted PPF and they offered a really competitive price. It ended up looking really good too.
So if they off that, I would consider it as you can finance that portion if it’s an extra cost you don’t want to afford right away.

That's a beaut!
I bought my Carrera in the "good 'ol days" before the pandemic when discounts were widely available which I think made the finance guys push the packages even harder to claw back some profit.
He hard sold so many and they seemed so pricey it was ridiculous. After opting out on all of them he even offered several packaged together for a "discounted" price well into the $20k's.
Wish he had let me keep the paperwork so I could really look at the details of what they were offering but since I wasn't buying on the spot he kept them.
For the current pricing of these small mass produced sports cars, they should be including all the add-ons for free!
