#3Yup, I went to buy one last year, I think the advertised price was $40k, but the dealership wanted to charge me a $15k "dealership fee" for the pleasure of doing business with them. I went for a Tesla Model Y instead, and I'm very happy with it.

Do your scare quotes mean you think it's unreasonable? It's supply and demand, isn't it?

#5I tried to buy one of these this month. The dealership I went to has a policy of not selling over MSRP, which I appreciate. As a result, they are no longer even taking names for the RAV4 Prime waiting list because they estimate the wait is 2-3 years.

#6I was hoping to buy a new car this year but frankly, there's nothing wrong with my 2012 Nissan Altima right now. I'm going to wait and hope that this craziness subsides soon.

#7Makes sense. That car is the perfect car for my family. Electric range is enough to do most of our daily errands, taking the kids to classes, etc. But the gas range is enough to take family road trips.
And in my case, it also happens to have 100% support from Openpilot, which is a requirement for me.

To me, calling it a "dealership fee" implies I'm getting something special from the dealership in addition to buying the car from them.

#9I bought one last Fall for sticker price and as the commute to my daughters school is 50 miles rt we fill the tank once a month or so.
Basically a great gateway drug to fully electric, which is what I want when I can get an F150 which is not taking orders atm.

It’s in scare quotes because it’s not a fee, it’s just a way of raising the price.
