I didn't see any ceramic control options when ordering my car. I ordered it aftermarket once I got the car.

As far as the interior goes. That full leather package is pretty pricey and he's looking to save on some items. The dash, seats, and most everything your eyes rest on will be leather. The extended package is pretty much the bottom half of the doors and lower side of the dash that you don't really see. It's nice, don't get me wrong. But, someone getting into your car wont notice the difference and if you want to save a buck that's a great place to start.
