I would like to know the amount of doc fees people have paid in flordia any any other bogus fees.
I have found that the best way to buy a new vehicle is to use KBB.COM to calculate the out-the-door price. When a dealer wants to discuss any line item in their sales contract, I ask them to give me their OTD price. I refuse to discuss anything else. They can list the line items any way they want but I only care about the OTD price. Their argument about discrimination is hogwash. What do you gain by engaging in a discussion about a dealer fee or doc fee?
