I’ve run into this twice before… and both Dodge dealers. First time was way back when the Caliber was new and my sister wanted one. Was working a deal at Freehold Dodge, and they had a delivery fee pre-printed on their contracts. I made a stink about it and they crossed it off. Salesperson claimed nobody before me ever pointed out to him that the monroney already has it on there. Second was this past fall when talking to a dealer in one of the Carolinas. They had a low advertised price online, but when I asked for a deal sheet, there was that destination charge. I argued that they were advertising a dollar amount off MSRP, and MSRP already has destination, but it fell on deaf ears. Her reasoning was “I know it is wrong, but it is how all dealers down here do it.” Great. i’ll remember that argument next time I face a judge. “But your honor everyone else is doing it!”
