Subject: Re: Out-the-door quote: 2026 Toyota RAV4 XLE
“Hi Sam,
Thanks for the quote. I see some add-ons listed (paint protection, nitrogen tires, window etching). I don't want those. Could you send an updated out-the-door price without them? If they're already installed, could you remove the charge or find a vehicle without them?
Thank you,
Jordan”

- Separate government fees (tax, title, registration) from dealer extras.
- Compare the total out-the-door price, not the monthly payment.

Can I ask a dealer to remove add-ons?
Yes. Add-ons like paint protection, nitrogen tires or window etching are optional extras. You can ask for an updated out-the-door price without them before you agree to anything.
What if the add-ons are already installed?
Ask them to remove the charge, or to find a comparable vehicle without them. If they refuse, compare their full out-the-door price with other dealers' written quotes.
Should I do this by email or in person?
Email first. It gives you a written record of the updated price before you visit.
Is this legal or financial advice?
No. It is practical communication guidance. Fees and disclosure rules vary by state.
