In my search for a Hyndai for my in-laws in Vegas, (I'm in L.A.) Metro
Hyundai told me there would be $l,800. in fees, not including the sales
tax! When I asked him to itemize these "fees", the first one was window
etching for $375. I had to ask him twice if it was required by law. It
isn't. The cops are doing it for free there. The second charge was for
'transportation' from the auction. The salesman had already admitted it
was a car bought at that dealer and then traded in for the newer style
Sonata.

Needless to say, I moved on from that transaction and found a nice car
for thousands less than what that dealer was willing to do.

That's why every car deal I do is with money I've secured away from the
dealer.
A lease? Never!
