None of those fees have showed up on my paperwork and I've agreed to the out the door price already. If they try and tack on anything extra, I'm going to show them their paperwork and e-mails. If they do show up, I'll at least get some oil changes out of them.

Well you live in one of the few remaining free states, that's why....

I didn't have to pay a advertising fee nor did i have to pay a fuel surcharge, and they filled the truck with premium for me, figure out msrp and thats what i paid.

FWIW, if you pay/paid MSRP those fees are already included in the MSRP. It's when you are able to negotiate/pay below MSRP that those fees show up on a "line item" basis. Everyone ends up paying those fees in one way or another.

what is that thing they charge for windshield thing?

Damn security code that's etched in. Drives me nuts. Charge me $300 for a serial number etched in the window so if someone steals it they can help recover it. Worthless. I've personally never paid any of the ******** stuff. I tell them I'll find the same car elsewhere and they usually take it off real quick. Also, if there's a dealer sticker or emblem on it they can either take it off or remove $1000 from my price for advertising fees. I cannot stand dealers as I've been ****** one to many times. I guess that's how you learn though.

In spite of reform efforts, a brand new report says, big banking institutions are still choking customers with hidden fees in order to make more profit. Its not just in banks but some company also.
