Looks like you got ripped off, The dealer cost is an inflated value and even
though might be on an invoice the dealers receives substantial rebates from the
manufacturer for selling a car quickly. How do you think those dealers who
advertise cars for a few dollars over cost ( usually less than $100 ) make any
money. If you buy a consumers report magazine for around $2.00 you can see what
the actual cost is minus most of the factory to dealer incentives. Also you
can usually get a better deal if you go through the fleet manager. $1200 over
cost is more then I've ever paid for a new car. Plus I did'nt need to pay
$96.00 for someone else to do my foot work.
