There s/b almost no maintenance required up to 10K miles other than a couple of oil changes so that’s worth very little.

The ‘administrative fee’ isn’t normal and you shouldn’t pay it. It’s just the dealer trying to get more money out of you for a made-up item. Tell him you won’t pay it or walk to another dealer now that you know about what they’re willing to sell for. Or you can try a buying service although I’ve usually gotten a better price than AAA or Costco but it means more negotiating.
