Cliffy could correct me, but I belive there is no limit on doc fes in Virginia.   Some dealers charge upwards of $600 for the doc fee. I have not found any dealers that are less than 200

GM dealers all charged 20 bucks DOC fees. My family has purchased 10 new GMs this year.

here in OK charges $10 DOC fee. The Nissan dealer I bought my Maxima from charged $249.
#10 of 687 Why worry about it? by alfox Oct 30, 2002 (5:03 am)
It's just part of the Out-the-Door price. If the total price is too high, move on to another store.
#11 of 687 I agree - or you can refuse to pay it. by zueslewis Oct 30, 2002 (5:32 am)
Contact a dealer or two when you start shopping and ask what their doc fee is - it certainly can vary by dealer.
#12 of 687 DOC fees are like Insurance policy fees. A ripoff. by kinley Oct 30, 2002 (10:08 am)

It's not so simple. A dealer advertises a great deal in the paper and sucks people into his store. A certain percentage of them will stick no matter what the doc fee is.   My local Toyota dealer charges $399, one of his competitors charges $139. Guess who advertises cheaper cars?

I suppose you also see injustice when electronics retailers, toy stores, etc. advertise low prices on items only to tell you batteries not included when you go to buy one.

raybear your post is right on target. The magic of advertising*. haha   *plus, TT&L, doc fee, lot fee, swap fee, storage fee, clean and detail fee, 50 year/5 million miles warranty and deer whistles.
