re: Car Buying Fees

Doc fees have changed in La in recent years. It used to be non negotiable in La because it was discriminatory to charge one customer a higher fee than others. Over the past few years it has become negotiable, but if dealers charge a doc fee once, then they have to charge some doc fee to all customers. Currently in La the largest legal doc fee is $100. That just recently got approved to increase. Don't remember when it becomes active, I think the new max fee will either be $150 or $200. A dealer could always discount the car a few bucks if a customer is pissed about the fee.
