Not true at all, I ordered a car and it showed up with $1,500 worth of options, I was pissed.
California is the worst place to buy because of the demand, most dealers seem receptive to taking a $500 deposit and getting the car you want, be very explicit and get it in writing, all the options you want and the total price of the car, have a printout ready, they'll try to round up on you. In addition to what others have said I saw the dealer in Lodi had a couple listed at a reasonable price (either on MSRP or less than $200 over, not like the ones in the bay with $10k+ add ons), I have no idea about how good they are, just something I noticed and it's close to you.
Look up cars.com and you'll see what dealers are trying to squeeze every penny out every car they can get their hands on.
Edit: that $500 should go towards your deposit and should be completely refundable for any reason.
