No wonder the auto industry is in trouble. Profit is NOT a dirty word.

I'm confused... You're either sending mixed messages or you missed the point of this thread. I absolutely want to see the dealership make good money. Just don't want VIN etching when I never asked for it. (please offer it to me first)
Your following two posts are EXACTLY what this post is about and what we wish to avoid no matter what the industry. Being informed is what any smart buyer does, and I do appreciate what you have done for this forum. You are one of the VERY BEST out there... I just think you missed this one, probably due to all the complaining you must obviously deal with all the time. Please dont' take this the wrong way... I was just suprised by your answer.
I'm paying MSRP which should be a fair deal for all and I sincerly hope you can make a few bucks and get the volume to really make a difference in your business.

You have just paid over $500 over MSRP. Congrats! You've been officially hosed. 
Seriously, you need to clarify those fees with someone in your state.  |
