[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1003956, member: 52972"] TrainTrac, I don't know when you bought your last X-plan? Mine was in 2003, when I bought my last Sport Trac and you had to pay TT&L (Tax, Title & Licensing). Even under the X-Plan you have always had to pay the state "Tax" unless the state waived the taxes (very rare). The Title & Licensing Fees are the "Documentation fees" that are waived by the X-Plan. Most states regulate the maximum the dealer may charge for Documentation Fees to $50, $100 or even $150...I suspect that some may even be higher. The other Fees waived by the X-Plan are all those annoying Dealer fees that they make up to boost their profits, like Stocking fees (just to have the car on their lot?), Dealer Prep fees (taking the plastic off the seats, vacuuming and washing the vehicle prior to delivery), Advertising Fees (often a flat fee added to each vehicle for advertising the dealership even when some dealers don't advertise?..they rely on the manufacturer's advertizing)....and there are a lot more. Actually, many dealers have stopped charging all those bogus fees because people are refusing to pay them and will go to a dealer that does not charge the fees beyond TT&L....it all depends upon how close other competing dealerships are. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
