Bogus Fee Check

Looking at an Acura RDX and they tried to throw in the following. Are these legit? Obviously the Door Cups is b.s.

MSRP/Retail $45,745.00
Total Savings + Rebates $1,737.63
License Fee $172.00
Documentary fee $250.00
Edge Guards/Door Cups $235.00
Net Trade $0.00
Residual Value $25,159.75
Total Due at Signing $1,500.00

License Fee $172.00
Documentary fee $250.00
Edge Guards/Door Cups $235.00

Yes (assuming that is your state fee)
Yes (maybe, might be marked up but I don’t know Ohio max fee)
No (dealer BS add-on, but they can eliminate it if you yell loudly enough)

Perhaps not bogus but perhaps not something you want to pay for either. The deal doesn’t look that good anyway so I’m sure there’s room to back out the dealer add in discount assuming it’s compulsory

Arguing over something obviously BS at $235 is missing the point.

What’s the big picture? What’s the payment and is it a good deal?

Yep those doc and gov/license fees are legit. Better than the dealerships charging $699 for doc fees in my state lol
