I for one will never pay 699 dealer doc fee…
I hear you but we got limited options… a few of the bigger dealerships are $699 while most others in NJ are $499. NY has the lowest doc fee ($75) but no MSDs. PA is the best option since it’s capped at $144 and offers MSDs but not as much competition as NJ.
NY prices are higher even after accounting for doc, in my experience
I consider the total cap cost rather than how their line items are broken down
Yeah I know, I’m in North NJ as well.
Maybe I got lucky, last few deals I helped friends with, out of state dealers all beat best quote I get in NJ by 2-3%, enough to offset the cost associated with buying out of state .
I think for me it’s just 700 charge on doc fee, which should be part of the business running cost anyway, just rubbed me the wrong way.
I would be equally pissed if one day McDonald’s start charging 2 bucks drive through fee…
It would be like nyc mcd charges $5 for a Big Mac and NJ is $1.99 plus the drive thru fee
