besides the MRSP you see on the website, dealers charged around $800 "destination fee". Suppose they give me a quote of $22,000 for a car that is $25,000 MRSP, and they said that does not include destination fee of $800.
When I look at truecar.com, I see mentioned:
Documentation Fee ($499), Prep Fee ($795) and Accessories ($0)
WTF are these fees?
What is "Documentation" fee? how can I avoid it?
What is "Prep Fee", is that the same as "destination"? something else?
And can I expect the dealer to find me a car without any "Accessories"?
Oh man, I hate car shopping.
EDIT: I fully understand there is tax (7%), there is registration and plates fee, and of course I need to prove that I have insurance. Anything else?
