I am guessing my search-fu is crap, as this has had to come up before.
I have my order details all set-
so I am trying the two dealers within 50 miles.
both came back with about 2% below invoice- so not horrible- its not the ones we see here with 5% below, but I also don't have to do a one way car rental and put 500 miles on a new car, get to support my local economy, etc...
but what gripes me is this "Dealership Service Fee" of $199 or $299 from these guys-
and I had one tell me there is a mandatory passive anti-theft for $299.
what the heck is that?
I had one dealer tell me they all have mandatory mudflaps- that bugged me less because I knew the invoice price...
the passive anti-theft I will say no thanks.
These dealership fees- I am going to ask for the itemized list of costs and services required under Wisconsin audit- see where that gets me....
Point of my post is, its a bit petty, but pushing back on these is justified?
