A local car dealer sent me a quote on a new vehicle, and it included a "Doc Fee" of $999.00. Does that sound either normal or reasonable? I know that dealerships have to process paperwork. But why should I be the one paying for it? What next, a fee for how much electricity the dealership uses? And then a "RETAX Fee" so I can help pay for the dealer's real estate taxes? What do YOU pay for a doc fee when you buy a new car? Is it negotiable? Is it legal in all 50 states?
