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

If you've not done tris in a long time and are inexperienced, you run the risk of getting eaten alive by a dealer. Save yourself the headaches and stress by using a car buying service like Tommi Mikula of Delivrd (thats how he spells it). Search for it on YouTube to see his services. He is not a broker. He charges a flat fee and negotiates between 150 - 200 deals a month. Well worth it in my opinion to save money even after paying his fee and saving the stress.
