About to put down a deposit for a 325i . My question is , they are charging me $180 TRAINING FEE ( the salesperson told me its charged to every car in the US) , and the other fee is $278 DEALER ADVERTISING GROUP Co-op advertising ( also told me this fee is charged to every car sold by dealers in the LA area). Adding another $45 for Documentation
Did anyone else have to pay for those fee ???

I think the 180 fee is actually incorporated in the invoice price (when I discussed this with my sales person, we found that the ivoice base price should include this. The $300 or so "california" fee is negotiable (unless you already negotiated a really low price) I reduced my "over invoice" offer when I found out about that fee, and my sales person was cool about it...

The training fee is legit, I have seen it on the invoices, but the advertising is a regional thing. Many times like brands in a market will pool their moneys into a collective advertising account. Not all dealerships will blatently try to recoupe it from a customer though.

sorry for the noob questions , first time buying a car. THANKS | Yes that's for the DMV for your license and registartion. Under $300 is actually better than I expected.
Also the $45 doc fee is normal on new car sales in CA.

I wish my business could charge customers for training and advertising! Cost of business. I wouldn't agree to these.
