If it floats your boat, go ahead and buy it. Just be forewarned that any
accessory you buy at the dealer will probably cost double what it costs
anywhere else. Buying accessories through the dealer just so that you can
put it on the financing is stupid. If you are that short of cash, you
shouldn't be buying a new car.
