In the sentence, "Act now and receive, at no extra charge, our Flint Westwood leather holster", what is the meaning of the phrase, "at no extra charge"?
The verb "to charge" is being used here in the monetary sense in this advertisement. The term doesn't refer to the state of a gun or weapon.
Although "charge" sometimes carries the sense of electric shock, in this case the word is being used here in the monetary sense.

There may be more than one correct answer!
According to the advertisement:
The advertisement does not refer to price of the "Bogus", or say that it is affordable or cheap.
This statement is true. The advertisement states that the "steering wheel" of the Bogus is included at "no extra cost", which indicates that there is no additional charge or "cost" for the steering wheel. "An extra cost" is a supplemental charge. The steering wheel of a car is the device used to direct the vehicle.
This statement is false. According to the advertisement, only the deluxe model of the Citron includes four seat belts (or safety belts). A "seat belt" is a mandatory safety device which protects passengers or drivers against the shock of a collision.
This statement is false. The advertisement states that with a smooth suspension, the Bogus provides a very "smooth" ride. "Smooth" and "rough" are opposites. A "rough, bumpy ride" suggests that passengers in a vehicle would be uncomfortable because of the violent movements of the car. The advertisement states that the "Bogus" provides a smooth ride.
