I do not begrudge a dealer for making a fair profit, but I've just seen the doc fees go up over the last few decades and it still rubs me the wrong way.
Any thoughts?

$500 is WAY too much. As mentioned already, some of the paperwork (especially the ones sent to the DMV) have filing fees however in most states $100 is enough to cover these fees and still leave the dealer a little profit.
Personally I would talk to the salesman and tell him/her that you know $500 is far too excessive and offer to pay $100 and see what they say. They'll probably take it.
