We had to pay those. I don't remember how much it was, somewhere around $100. Before we bought the car I was asking my dad for tips on how to get the best deal, and he said don't let them add on any dealers fees... but we paid them anyway. It seems kinda strange to me that you could be like "um, no I'm not paying you for that."

Easy way to get around it is to be prepared to walk. Just tell them to lower the price of your car by that much. They may or may not do that and even if they do they will probably do something to make the money back. But you could get lucky.
At least they don't call it "Added dealer markup" anymore

I paid $0 in extra fees and I told them that I would pay for it up front. I also got $900 off of the car. I also told them that wanted no accessories extras, there big money maker. They badgered me about the accessories for a while, once they knew I was serious about not wanting them and would walk, they let it go. You have to walk in there with authority, let them know what you want, and show them that you have done your homework.

The worse car buyer is one that falls in love with the car. They live for those buyers. Usualy the best deals are made by people willing to walk. There are some dealers that don't budge no mater what, but others are just out to sell a car and will be willing to negotiate. And the rare few that find selling you the car and fufilling your needs is more important than immediate profit since you are likely to refer other people to them and also use their parts and service department.

Once a dealer starts charging for a (DOC-FEE) he is then Legally got to Charge everyone or he could open the door to a Law-Suit if someone wanted to pursue it. It goes without saying, how is anyone going to really know if the customer before you Paid the (DOC-FEE) or not. You would have to know the other customer to find that out, Right?
The answer to your Question is this. If you Do-Not want to pay the (DOC-FEE) then you can tell your selling Dealer that they can feel-free to leave the (DOC-FEE) Charge on your Contract but they need to (Back-It-Off-Your-Price) and thats how it is done. I would not Kid-You:
So from a Legal standpoint the Dealer has Charged you for it just like everyone else but in reality the Dealer Backed it (The-Cost-Of-DOC-Fee) off the price of the HCH ll. Make sense?
