Admin Fees

bmwpwer · 03-31-2008, 12:03 PM

I am noticing some real variances in Admin Fees charged by my dealer. Last year I purchased a car and the admin was $249. With my 2008 M3 they are asking for $599. Both were purchases, not leases. Not very happy with this increase, especially give the number of cars I have bought from this dealership.

An admin fee is nothing but a cash gab.Its bullshit!

Refuse to pay and walk out. I've documented my recent experience around this here:

Thanks gentlemen. I am getting very frustrated about this. I have purchased 5 BMWs from this dealer in the past 5 years and they want a huge admin fee. Looks like time to go somewhere else. I thought my loyalty was worth more.

bmwpower...."documentation fee" in Vancouver at my dealer was $195. What was your freight & PDI charge?

bmwpwer · 04-01-2008, 03:37 PM

Thanks for the info. My Freight and PDI is $1995. By the way, did you get charged a Green Tax levy for fuel efficiency and if so, how much?

schnell325 · 04-01-2008, 03:41 PM

No green tax levy in BC.

And thank you for the PDI info.
