Default Advertising Fee

I feel like I am getting jerked around!!! How much is the advertising fee for a 2004 Lexus 430?

Thanks,

Bob

You should never pay an advertising fee. The cost of advertising is part of the cost of doing business which should already be covered in the price of the car - not an additional fee. Don't fall for this. Go to another dealer if they won't remove that fee.

Thanks for your replies. I am aware that the advertising fee is part of the dealer's cost of doing business. I wanted to know what the factory charges the dealer for a LS 430, so that I can accurately calculate the dealer's true total cost, including floor plan, holdbacks etc.

Regards,

Bob

Go to www.fightingchance.com, and order their package for $32. It will tell you how much the advertising charge is, and will also tell you how deals are coming in on LS430s during the present quarter. It's well worth the $32 to do business with these guys. I used them to buy two Lexus automobiles (A GS300 and an LS430), and saved a total of $12,000 off of MSRP.

BTW, I don't work for them, or garner any benefit from them. I'm just a satisfied customer.
