I'll -probably- end up getting my replacement car in Ocala, because dealerships near The Villages have pretty much a monopoly and can "fee" you to death and there's nothing you can do about it. Except to drive far away to a dealership that doesn't have a monopoly.

True. If you need a car, you probably won't get a good deal. It's best to buy a car before you actually need a car, unless you can convince the dealer that you don't need a car. It's easy to deal with the fees, just say no. That is why I set the price, not the dealer. They can take it or leave it. When you do it that way, there are no bogus fees because you don't even discuss them. But, I don't agree that another customer will buy the car. The dealer can always replace the car to sell to another customer.
