Congrats! Sounds like a great deal if your Windstar was in average condition and $4000 was a fair allowance. How do you like your Sedona? And what gas mileage are you getting?

Sounds like an excellent price, but your $16560 is misleading. The $350 doc fee should be included in the price. Shouldn't you have said $17,050 instead of $16,700 or $16,560? I'm surprised you considered the doc fee separate when posting your deal, after you spent all that time in the prior post explaining to people how to make their deal posts more useful for others.
 
Personally, I don't care if the dealer has a doc fee or not. For me, it is part of the TOTAL PRICE, and that is what I'm interested in. I won't demand that they remove it, but ff they want to add a big doc fee into the deal, then the rest of the price better be good enough to make up for it.

While that information is helpful, we like to allow members to decide the information they'd like to post.
  
Generally, members are looking for the model, what options the buyer selected, and the price paid (not including tax, title, license or trade-in) and WHERE the vehicle was purchased.
  
Mandating that members include all of the information above sure would limit the number of members who are willing to post information about their deals, and we are grateful to members who take the time to share any info they can.

Hahaha. If you only read the headlines in the newspaper, you don't get the whole story.
$ 16,560 is not misleading since the qualifications are included and explained. Of course, you have to read the post to understand it all.
The title is accurate. All necessary info is included in the body text.
I itemized doc fee to show how the price of the car was padded by the dealer. A charge for no added value. I thought some readers might be interested in that too.
No nits here.

I don't understand quite what you are trying to say. I think you should have said $17,050 in the title of your post, NOT $16,560. The $16,560 is not as meaningful to me as the figure that includes all charges, including doc fee, but excluding taxes and title/registration since those vary by state. In your case, that figure was $17,050.
 
Some people won't bother to read all the text in a long post such as yours. They will see $16,560 and think that is what you paid for your Sedona, when you actually paid $17,050 + tax/title/license.

Haha. I have no power to mandate.
  
I am just a reader and sometimes poster making a suggestion. It is my wish list.
  
But, if more people would include all pertinent information the board would be more meaningful and useful, that's all.
  
Please forgive me all of you with ruffled feathers. And, please do continue to post in whatever manner you choose.
 
Thanks.

Say a consumer buys a vehicle for $20,000. But oops - the dealer also charged a $3,000 doc fee. Which is more useful to other consumers - the $23,000 figure or the $20,000 figure? I anxiously await your reply.
