It’s -.4% under invoice, a $275 program admin fee and the dealer can only charge “up to” $100 in fees (some do, some don’t). Invoice pricing is here.
Thanks for this. And for the link to invoice pricing, too. I had not seen that before.

Could some of you guys furnish your dealer’s fixed “documentation fee”? These fixed fees seem to be going up with every car purchase I have made. They used to be around $399 - $499 in my area. My local Ford dealer is now at $799. What are you seeing at your local dealership?
$125 at Waconia Ford in Minnesota

Ah, that would make sense. I'm working on trying to get the X-plan, but I can't see how much it would save me, so I don't know if it would worth getting it.
X Plan saved me $456

$399 doc, DMV fees $14.00 Safe Key ????? $349 "What is Safe Key?"
I think it might be key registration where they give you a little tag for your keychain and if you lose your keys someone can drop them in a mailbox for return.

I only know safe ket as 2 things: an insurance product sold for key loss (should be way more than 14$) and a non chipped door only or valet type key (runs for a few miles then disables the system without a chipped key -Lincolns had this) oh I guess 3 it could be a storage of your key code for remote replication aka you lose your keys and a locksmith calls the dealership to make a valet or door key to let you in.

for anything but the 1st it’s a rip off, the 1st is still just insurance but should cost more. I would ask.

State charges required for the sale of new tires/batteries even if they're already installed on a vehicle.
Florida charges that crap too. It's a disposal fee they say. I tell them I'm NOT disposing them, I'm buying them.

Move to GA and get charged when you dispose of them. Double the fees, none of the fun!

I used to make sandals out of my used tyres (wear a 16eeee so they were hard to find as a teen) and paracord. People refused to believe I was not dumping the tyres till I started pointing at my feet.

Negotiate this before you truck arrives, and it is negotiable. Find out what other dealers are charging before you negotiat.
