New car Documentation fee.
Which car dealers do not charge a documentation fee. This is just another rip off.

None of them will charge it if you just refuse to pay it. This also applies to worthless dealer installed options. The best way to buy a new car is to do your homework online and know what the car is worth, including taxes, tag fees, current rebates, and trade-in value. Then, only discuss the out-the-door price with the dealer, and don't bother looking at the stupid dealer breakdown items and bogus invoices. I also recommend that you not sit at the saleperson's little desk and wait around while he/she goes to talk to the sales manager, and be prepared to walk out the door. Never pay a deposit for a car that will be delivered from another dealership. And, don't waste time with a buying service. Follow these rules and you can avoid getting ripped off. I purchased a car a few months ago, test drove the car I wanted, handed the salesperson a slip of paper with the out-the door price including trade-in, and told him he had 15 minutes to accept it or I was leaving. I was polite, but refused to discuss anything else, and they accepted the offer.

Now matter how hard I try, I get screwed ever time IMO if they're not screwing you they won't close the deal. You may think your getting fair deal, but I doubt it

Always know the dealer cost of the car you want. Then never pay more then that. They get incentives to cover their profit.
I tell every sales person I work with, "you see that sign above the door?" and there is no sign there. It says "I wont be back" once I leave.

Don't pay the dealer "prep" fee either, that's another bogus fee. You don't need nitrogen in the tires, and you didn't ask for that!

There's no denying it...
some folks just do not have the ability to use their brain and the common sense with which they are born. It would be near impossible to ever be satisfied with any deal made if it's always assuming the worst...glass almost empty.

Nothing new about using all the information on the internet as a resource. The key (no pun) is don't go in with the pressure of having to buy a car today. You don't need it today, you don't need it tomorrow. Take it or leave it attitude is always good.

Dealers deserve to make a profit and salespeople usually work on commission. Just do your homework online when shopping for a new vehicle educate yourself it’s probably the second largest purchase you’ll make after buying your home. KBB Is only a reference guide and if your looking at a used vehicle to purchase NEVER look at the dealer price, for sale by private party it’s close to fair market value. |
