I recently bought a new Toyota Tundra. I overheard a fellow say, "Why is there a doc fee on a used truck?"
I knew exactly what he meant. He would have probably asked the same question if he were buying a new F150. |

youtube has tons of videos on closing the deal in the finance office, the only legitimate fees are Tax, Tag, and License
the rest are bullshit |

The only number that really matters is the final price out the door. You shop around until you find the best one.

Quoted: youtube has tons of videos on closing the deal in the finance office, the only legitimate fees are Tax, Tag, and License the rest are bullshit View Quote Wrong. Doc Fees are legit, they vary from state to state. Some states have a minimum and a maximum. They are the fee's associated with title processing and paperwork. Mine are 100.00. Most dealers charge 150-250. Sadly some dealers use it as a profit center and charge upwards of $500.00. Dealers don't just go down to the DMV and wait in line like a normal person. They have a separate person that handles their titling. Sometimes there are a dozen or more titles. The customers at the DMV would not be happy waiting for a dozen titles or more to get processed. |

Whether you're paying cash or financing you have a final dollar amount. If that meets my requirements I don't care one bit how the dealer breaks it down. |

The best deals I have gotten came from internet sales guys and vehicles that high volume dealerships got in on a trade prior to sales prep. A broken cup holder and a dented plastic front bumper cover got me $1000 under KBB. Fixed it with a heat gun and $30 replacement cup holder on Amazon. Got my wife a car for almost $2k under KBB because they were going to have to do a repaint on the trunk.

Quoted: Dock fee? What is it, a boaterhome? View Quote well beaten....... because you parked it at the marina. Simply walk from a deal if you feel your bill is getting padded and tell them why. I walked over financing, I have stellar credit and negotiated a really decent price with the agreement that for the cut price they do the financing. I wnt so far to put a $500 deposit down to lock the truck as I lost a truck deal as it got sold during my haggle. They informed me of the great news via email or text that they got me a great percentage rate at nearly 4%. My response was of course mocking them with that. They tried to push that line and came down a smidge after the weekend. I told them where they needed to be to match the credit union. They said they couldn’t do it. Sorry, no dice then, refund the $500 deposit. Of course they came back just under where I told them was the minimum I would do in just a few day.......after ignoring a few plaintive emails to still deal. If they want to deal, they will deal. My deal was two states away and that place had trucks actually on the lot and were talking. I had few trucks at local places that were dealing. Closest one has “fixed” everybody gets our best deal price. That didn’t work for me. I got a better equiped truck for less in a better color elsewhere. Only thing I really didn’t want to go for was the out of state inspection. Our state has our own inspections. I paid it anyhow writing it off as the delivery fee in my mind. Two guys and a chase vehicle from about 85 miles away to drop it off at my house. Good nuff. |

View Quote No they are just an extra fee they add on to increase their profits. I’m not doubting that they have to have a special person to go do all the paperwork but so what that is just a cost of them doing business. What’s next a fuel fee for all the gas they have to put in the cars for test drives? A parking lot fee because they have to have a place to park the cars? An electric fee fecause they have to have lights in their office? The doc fee is a bullshit thing they add on to the agreed upon price. If you ever go shopping for an ATV or UTV them fuckers tell you a price on a machine and then they want to add doc fee, delivery fee, and setup fee. Yes all that shit costs money to do but just add it to the price you tell me don’t make me think it costs one amount and then add bullshit to it. |

View Quote Actually every vehicle is charged a gas charge. When the vehicle file gets fuel, the cost of that fuel goes on to the cost of the vehicle. Even the full tank you get on new vehicles is charged to the vehicle. You really think a business will eat a expense associated to the product being sold???? Only things not charged to the vehicle is overhead like lights, gas, water, rent. ETA, they are not a extra fee added on for profit, BUT like I said, they are often inflated to add some profit. |

Horseshit. It's another incoming line item for the dealer's pocket. Nothing more. You don't pay a "stock boy fee" or a "bookkeeper fee" at the grocery store. You're passing on a cost of doing business because you know once people have gotten that far in the deal they'll swallow it. It's like the jagoffs that have a "rehoming fee" on Craigslist for their dog. It's not a rehoming fee. It's the price. You're selling your dog. If calling it something different makes you feel less guilty about that, you're not intelligent. That said, most dealerships have doc fees for used cars and most won't budge on it. All the YouTube channels say to get the dealer to drop the doc fee. I've sold cars two different places, and those places had a total of 7 dealerships under their management, and they wouldn't give an inch on the doc fee. They MIGHT (I've seen it once or twice) take that amount off the price of the car, but if they do it's money you could have gotten off just by negotiating. It's just one of the reasons people believe car dealers are lying scum. Which in my opinion (having worked at one two different times) is always at least somewhat true. Even the "good ones" have a layer of the corruption, lying, and theft baked into their psyche if they've survived long enough to reach management or even be a successful salesmen. Scum. |

In the past I’ve just gone to a different state where doc fees are not charged. I saw it where one dealership in a town started charging it and then the next Thing you know they all started charging it. So I drove 2 hours away to get my last 2 vehicles. Lower price to begin with and no doc fee.

Doc fees are bullshit. No one is arguing that it doesn’t cost a dealer money to process documents. But the fact is, that’s one of many overhead costs and a part of selling car. So why treat it like a separate line item with a separate fee? You don’t charge a separate fee for the dealerships light bill. You don’t tack on a fee for gas in the car, even though it may be figured into the price. A car dealership is one of the only businesses that tries to charge an extra fee just for processing a sale. You don’t go to buy a tv and then get hit with a “cashier fee” and a “warehouse storage fee” on top of the tv price. Those overhead costs are built into the tv price. A vehicle is no different. Using a doc fee as a separate line item is just a manipulative way to price the car as low as possible on the window and then adding it back when the customer is hooked. |

We have a doc fee and are up front about it. We have no hidden bullshit costs, no surprises. We are a family owned dealership and we have a good amount of employees. There is a lot of stuff behind the scenes many do not know what happens. I, for one, did not realize until I started last Sept. PROFIT is not a bad word. We are fair, transparent and we do not pressure (and are in the top 15 of all of North American dealerships for customer satisfaction.)
A doc fee is part of our numbers and is non negotiable for us. Sure we profit on a doc fee, but how would a business stay operational if it did not make any money? |

Probably has to do with internet sales from small time used car lots. They advertise the lowest price for a car then add $4k in fees on top once you are in the door. Now the whole industry has followed this to get people in the door. One of the techs I work with went to a small used car lot after seeing the car online for $7k. He walked out after the fees on the car made it $11k before tax and title. And he works at a dealer so he knows a doc fee is going to be added. They added clean up fees and some other bullshit to the price. It works for those shitty used car lots because not all people get up and walk away. |

I negotiated the price on a used car and then they hit me with the stupid "window etching" scam during the paperwork.
I told them "You didn't run out and do the etching since we agreed on a price did you?". They said no of course not. I said correct, the price we agreed on was for how it sits right now. It already had the stupid etching when we agreed on the price. You can't start bumping up the price for features on the car that were already there when we agreed on the price. They finally dropped the $250 etching fee (that cost them $20 anyway). I also tried to get them to drop the doc fee, got in a heated debate with the manager over that. And I almost killed the deal over it, but it was actually a good deal on the car. Lost that fight. Turned out to be a great car but I still call them crooks every time I get another sales call from them. |

Last car i bought, when the salesman came back with his "best offer" i told him to get me out the door for that price after taxes tags and fees. He got it done after a bit. I guess what im saying is theres less fees when its cutting into their commission
