Bull**** or legitimate?

I'm stripping the dealer of any significant profits and want to know if the $200 pre delivery inspection is a bull**** charge and something to fight.. Or something I should just pay.

Thoughts?

BS

That's obviously why I posted the question.

But what basis do you have for calling it BS?? Do you call it BS because you wouldn't pay it? Or do you call it BS because you know other dealers don't try to charge a pre-delivery inspection?

Actually all do.

.. In any case, if I see it, I'd for sure challenge what and why does that charge applies to.

I'm also trying to locate on Edmunds.com, an article that talked about the bogus charges.

I also just found this article I remember reading long time ago...

"Don't let them charge a dealer prep. Many dealers tack on a $200-$600 dealer prep."

there's a $195 prep charge from Audi on EVERY invoice.

Re: Yes we do. because it costs money to prep the cars. nothing is free.

at what point does it become a cost of running a f***ing dealership? No sh** you need to prep the cars.

It's the principle vs money at that point.

CODB should be upfront in the paperwork. IF the total cost is attractive then great but if you are paying full price with no discount then it is BS
