The $799 processing fee is a ripoff. Pure profit. It is at best unethical and at worst should be illegal. I believe in NY the law limits it to $75.00. I’d ask them to remove it or reduce the price of the car accordingly. It does not cost then $800 to “process” a transaction.

So you just factor that in in your negotiations and don't get hung up on a line item charge. It's all in playing the game, The bottom line is the bottom line.

I paid $72500 (plus $500 dealer fee) in the first week of October for a premium plus with an MSRP of $77850. The MSRP was $80900 prior to the Driving Assistance pack discount that started Oct 1. In a couple of months I'll receive the $7500 fed credit and the Colorado $5000 state credit. Had it not been for those credits I would not have purchased the car.

Full disclosure I was in the car business for a few years long ago in a galaxy far far away.

With some negotiation among the dealers in my area, I got a 10k discount on MSRP for a Prestige. This is for a purchase (not lease) in the PNW area.

Also, if you are a USAA member there is a $ 2,500 rebate to the dealer on the E-Tron. It's all done on the USAA website through a dealer portal. I got that on mine.

Does this go for lease's as well?
