3. The cost...varies from $25.00 to "the skies the limit." Some states regulate the fee, most do not.

4. The bald face lies/excuses/reasons the dealer gives you when you question what The Fee is all about. Every dealer has a different story, none are truthful.

Would you deal with a lying, cheating, crooked SOB? Yes...because everyone that buys a vehicle new or used does...every day.

Something to consider.

you got that right...

my dealer's doc fee only showed up at signing, and their contracts are printed with $300 in bold for doc fee - wish I had had the guts to walk away. That what happens when you are in love - loss of judgement...
