I would be somewhat uncomfortable too. It's not about paying $300 more, but if he says at invoice, then he should not add any junk fees using different names. I did ED from a local dealer, and there was no processing fee, no training fee, no nothing. I chose them because my CA (Alek at BMWSF) was a straight shooter. He would want a little for the dealer's margin. And that's fine because he was straight up and professional without deception. And he worked like a horse to accommodate my hectic schedule and changing options. I think being straight is worth a lot more than $300.

So, just based on his post (which is how I heard of him), I'm thinking the quote doesn't reflect a "true" invoice price... I feel like a ball-buster and I'm certainly NOT trying to bash him, call him out, etc. I just shot him an email and asked him plainly: "what is the processing fee" - If its an ACTUAL cost that is a part of purchasing a car at invoice - I'll gladly pay it... Its just that I haven't seen anything that states there is a processing fee in the documentation I've received. Specifically, the Training Service Fee of $180 is excluded from Euro Delivery. Finally, I'm not saying there is a conspiracy going on, but I was a little surprised that the link is dead - maybe the guy got his head cut off for posting that and had to get it deleted - or asked cboneck to delete his post?
