Suppose I buy a new car, what "fees" should I expect?
#14
Destination fee is real, it's a flat fee to deliver the car from the point of manufacturer, or import to the dealer . It's the same fee to any dealer, any location in the 48 states.

Prep fee is another term for an ADP fee. (Additional Dealer Profit). This fee is often pre printed on the contract to make it seem like it cannot be negotiated.

Documentation fee is another ADP that is explained to be the cost of preparing your title work and other paperwork.

here is a registration fee, which in most states cannot be marked up. Often a dealer will charge a flat fee, $100 or $200 and when your title comes in a refund for any overage paid, or a bill for any shortage will be paid when you get your registration.

Other fees, such as tire and battery fees are small and fixed by the state or federal government for environmental impacts.
