When buying a brand new car, what are on road costs? How are they made up and how come they are negotiable?

Everything is negotiable.

How are they made up? Who knows. Some charge $500, some charge $1500. Actual cost to get a car on road - say a tank of gas and rego is just under $500. Some dealers would argue that ORCs also include the cost of detailing the car ready for sale.
Are they negotiable? Yes, generally.

if they want to sell you the car the sticker price is it as far as I am concerned any difference is discounted not increased

Don't pay ORC, it is just a scam set up by dealers to screw more money out of you. Last new car I purchased they tried for $1500 ORC (after I had agreed on the actual purchase price) so I walked away drove 30 km to next dealer and purchased identical car with no ORC

Interesting, I was quoted $750 and negotiated it down to $500. I thought it was a scam. Why is it tolerated?

It's always the same reason: they do it because they can!
