Options for 2009 Vantage

I am interested in a 2009 Vantage (want the 4.7) and have not fully sorted out what were the available options, and which were really optional..options.

It seem all Vantages imported into the US for 2009 (and other years) came with: Power folding mirrors, memory mirrors and garage door opener, Cruise Control, Heated front seats, and SATNAV. Maybe others?

Optional Options:

Premium Audio (seem most maybe all have?)
front parking sensors
Sports Package
Optional Wheels
Bluetooth
Battery Charger
umbrella?
Colored calipers

I'd definitely go with the sports pack. Most cars you will see are pretty well-equipped and should have all of those things including nav and Bluetooth, etc.
