Where I live it rarely gets down to 32 degrees. I bought a bag that said 20 degrees. After reading the manual it said that was the extreme rating. Will this bag keep me warm at 32 degrees or not?

From my experience I would say don’t wear warm clothes in your sleeping bag. Just wear a light pair of thermal underwear (top and bottom) and some socks. Put your clothes into the bag with you to keep them warm but don’t wear them. That way when you wake up and put on those clothes you actually feel warm. If you wear clothes in your sleeping bag you’ll feel cold after you get out of your sleeping bag.
Sure, if you have a sleeping bag that’s warm enough. If you need the layers to sleep, you just gotta cope with a cold morning and get moving as quick as you can to heat up. Just saw that OP is car camping, but stuffing a tent, sleeping bag, and pad first thing every morning is always enough to get me warmed up in whatever layers I have on, if I am moving camp.
