That seems to be a little steep. Are any of these fees negotiable? Or, are they carved in granite?

I can never understand the idea of negotiating with a new car salesman ,,there are several dealerships for any brand in easy driving distance , price check with any four of them. Here is my trade, I want this car with these options. Give me an out the door price, if yours is the best I will be back, if you change the price I walk, simple ? Let them bid on your business
