Buying a new car in FL- what are the dealer fees?
Hi,
My mother is going to buy a new Mini Cooper and lives in Florida. Apparently there is no negotiating room on Minis and during her last new car purchase, I felt she got a little ripped off paying exhorbitant dealer processing fees. Since dealers can make extra profit on paper work, does anybody know what the standard processing fees should be in Florida? In Texas, those fees are capped. I did a search on Google, but didn't find anything. Lastly, she is paying for the car herself, so there no financing to worry about. Thanks!

What are the fees for and what level are they?
Some fees are simply for extra profit, such as VAT (dealer charges to increase price on popular models), DVF (simply dealer vacation fund), SPF (Sales Prize Fund), etc... Find an independant dealer or have your mom go out of state to buy the vehicle. I'm sure there are dealers out there who make a living by selling vehicles at a reasonable price. I've met some of them!
