When buying a new car, I recommend trying to find a "Mullinax" dealership within driving distance of The Villages. Two of them that I know of are Mullinax Ford in Apopka, and Hyundai of Central Florida in Clermont. Mullinax dealers do not charge any of the bogus fees listed by the OP in this thread. Also, they do not install overpriced dealer add-ons, such as pin striping, fabric protection, appearance packages, nitrogen in the tires, replacement insurance, etc. They only charge for options that are added to the vehicle by the manufacturer and listed on the Federally mandated window sticker. They do not attach an extra window sticker like some dealers do.
