Replying to: jwilliams2 (Jul 01, 2009 7:57 pm) But a valid point was brought up. If they can be charged with discrimination for charging some minorities a doc fee when some of another race, sex or creed are not they could also be charged for discrimination for charging some minorities a higher price for a car than someone of another race, sex or creed. What makes the doc fee different from the sales price?

Replying to: kyfdx (Jul 01, 2009 7:34 pm) It goes along with the major class action several years ago that accused dealers and banks with charging higher rates to minorities. Rate increase must be only credit related. A dealer today has been sued for about everything you can imagine. That is why compliance is a key word to the industry.

Replying to: snakeweasel (Jul 01, 2009 8:16 pm) I would guess because its a fee, unlike the car itself, which is merchandise. Some folks (Edmunds readers) do better at negotiating than others. Nothing discriminating about that. But perhaps you're right. Maybe the solution is for everyone to just pay MSRP.

Replying to: lrguy44 (Jul 01, 2009 8:27 pm) Just out of curiosity; 1. what would your typical doc fee be? 2. Is it the same for every model, a Sentra and a Maxima? 3. What do you estimate are the real costs of preparing the paper work?
