I have a FE due in this week from my local dealership at MSRP, with a signed Sales & Purchase agreement from them, with a $1,000 down payment. I made the deal with the sales person for MSRP after they provided me with the best trade value on my trade in, compared to 3 other dealerships.
But it took standing my ground with the sales manager, that wanted to add to the MSRP, the $1,395 Delivery, Processing and Handling fee, a $399 Dealer Document fee, and a $25 Motor Vehicle fee. I said their sales person agreed to sell me the FE at MSRP out the door, and that I expected their dealership to honor that agreement, since he took my $1,000 deposit at the time we made the agreement.
The salesperson was a stand up guy and confirmed what he had agreed upon for a price with me, and because of that, the sales manager eventually honored that agreement, put it on the S & P agreement, and signed it. The sales manager said, in the 10 years she has worked there, I was the first person to negotiate out the Delivery, Processing and Handling fee.
