A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
Are all car buying fees negotiable?
Government fees (sales tax, title, registration) are not negotiable. Dealer fees (doc fee, prep fee, advertising fee, add-ons) are negotiable. The key is distinguishing between the two. A good practice is to ask the dealer to separate government-mandated fees from dealer-imposed fees on the worksheet so you can see exactly what is and is not in their control.

People come for the number. They stay for how easy we make it.
I’ve never used a broker to buy a car before and honestly, I was skeptical. But after this experience, I’ll never step foot in a dealership again. I have a demanding job with very little free time, so I simply texted David exactly what I wanted—and that was it. The entire process happened while I was in back-to-back work meetings. I never even had to pick up the phone! It was completely stress-free and I couldn’t be happier with my Maserati Grecale!

I've loved working with Vantage for my last two cars. It's so much better than having to go to multiple dealerships and haggle to get the right make, model and price you're looking for. Their customer service and quick turnaround to getting a car delivered to your door is incredible. Highly recommend them for your car shopping needs!!

The entire process was smooth, transparent, and completely stress-free—something you don’t often hear when it comes to buying a car!
