I would have done the same.
When I was buying my Tundra, I negotiated a price on a used truck with a dealer and then when we went to do the contract, they added things like window etching, title, registration, "administration" etc etc. In NJ, even if you buy a car at a dealer, you still have to go to DMV to deal with all the paper work, and the window etcing, I told them I didn't ask for it, so I refused to pay for it.
Ultimatly, it got to the point where the sales guy picked up the contract and said " I don't need to sell you this truck" and he walked away. If it's wasn't his loss, it sure wasn't mine either.
There are litterally 10's of thousands of trucks to pick from. I the end, I bought a new truck for the same price with no pain in the *** haggling. I went through the internet and it worked out perfectly. Since then, I also bought a VW Toureg through the www.
Anyway, basically, my point is, there is no such thing as a good deal and you can ALWAYS get the same price of better somewhere else.
The real "best deal" on a car is to buy 1yr old from a private seller you know and keep the truck for 5+ years and always keep it maintained.
Good luck.
