What other charges are there to buying a new car after MSRP?

I know there is GST & PST
also, Freight/PDI
also, A/C tax?
also, Battery levy

Documentation fee <--- is this legitimate or just a way for dealer to get
something back?

What other "suspect" fees should I be aware of?

I am in Vancouver BC Canada btw

I don't know or care anymore cuz I lease, and have already negotiated
the bottom line before signing.

Only thing to look out for is contingent turnover fees at the end.

Well, last time I bought, I only talked bottom line, too, and simply
shrugged when the dealer tried to toss in garbage. It can be done.
