Anyone else seeing the dealer add on fees...other than 'mark ups'

Here's what I recieved:

MSRP $33,430.00
$395.00 Cyber Gray Metallic Stripe Package (B7W)
$1200.00 RS Package (WRS)
$35,025.00
$499.00 Dealer Service Fee
$289.00 Paint Sealant
$35,813 + TTL

Now...we all know both the 'DSF' and 'Paint Sealant' are a crock...I want to be pleasant with my dealer and I don't mind paying MSRP...but I don't want to pay for 'nothing'. More importantly...I don't want them putting ANYTHING on the paint...as I will be taking care of that myself and don't want the added pain of stripping off whatever they put on it.

Ugh....what a pain.

i never understood why they have 'dealer fees'...dealers always tell me its for admin stuff, and all the paper work bla bla bla...i thought the $1000's they were making on the car sale paid for the paperwork...

paint sealant? dont they do that at the factory?

350 HRSS · 10-18-2008, 03:50 PM

My dealer fee was $299.

I remember back in the day when it was like $95!

*The_Blur* · 10-18-2008, 04:09 PM

I'll be telling my dealer to screw fees. They make a profit off the sale even if it is at invoice. If I have to pay an extra dime, I'll walk out angrily.

Txturbo · 10-18-2008, 05:17 PM

Paint sealant..........its called clear coat and it already comes with it. Same for Scotchgard on the upholstery. Don't fall for those scams.

Scooter · 10-18-2008, 05:33 PM

$399 + $68 for the tag

srtclg1007 · 10-18-2008, 06:32 PM

My dealership fee was $98. So far so good with my dealer.

NVMY68SS · 10-18-2008, 06:34 PM

$349 + $74 for the tag.......

Shouldn't our tags be the same Scooter?

I don't think so.....read the bottom of the invoice sheet....(c) MSRP, Employee prices ........do not include applicable destination charges...ttl

Should be $34,180 base MSRP.

NVMY68SS · 10-18-2008, 08:04 PM

You're both right, kinda!?!

MSRP is $33,430 but after you include the $750 destination charge, it comes to $34,180.

If they try to add on a lot of fees, one way of expressing your disgust is to yell "**** THAT" while knocking various papers and other objects off the salesperson's desk as you walk out of the office. ...or so I've been told, yeah...
