It's one of these: trolling the Gamecocks, photoshopped, a stupid joke, or it's real.

Or the Gamecocks trolling Clemson. It doesn't matter which one. It's funny. And really stupid.

It's a pretty good guess that this will be removed from FB, so here is a screen capture.

Dealers typically add Dealer Closing Fees onto the retail price of the vehicle. DCFs are entirely discretionary. DCFs became a widely used add-on during the ‘70. It is just another way to improve the deal for the dealer. I read this as a way for the dealer to emphasize that he does not charge a fee above the actual retail cost of the car. That’s a good marketing strategy, IMO. I don’t see anything wrong with the kid buying a car. That happens without breaking any rules.....sometimes.

I don't see anything wrong with a kid buying a $160K (minimum) used McLaren either. lol.

It’s just money. LOL. I doubt he paid for it.

Like how much did TrueMotor pay the kid for the ad, Dude ?

You can buy a car for him if you’re not a Clemson fan, or not? TrueMotor is probably an Alabama fan too. LMAO.

Closing documentation is a state mandated $399 in Oklahoma and varies by state to state... definitely not discretionary charging.

You’re correct. I should have clarified that it began as a discretionary charge but some states have begun to regulate the cost due to dealer abuse. One day, there will be regulation on aftermarket products such service contracts. Currently, Florida is the only state that regulates the retail cost for service contracts. The dealer pays an average cost of $700 for the product but can sell it to the customer for whatever he wants. Would you believe dealers actually sell this product for $2500? That Is sometimes a much bigger profit than he makes on the vehicle sale. The fact is that auto dealers average as high as $1400 per retail sale over and above the profit on the vehicle. Also, normally dealers can waive the DFC even in states where the fee is regulated which would make the fee discretionary. DFC is not regulated in all states unless laws have changed since 2015.

Where does it say he bought the McLaren?

I have never and won't ever buy a brand spankin new vehicle. It goes against my DNA to take a 20-40% bath just to drive a big paperweight off the lot for the 'new car smell'

I'm the opposite. I like to know what happened during miles 0 through 30,000. By buying it new, I know it wasn't abused. New car smell? That's difficult in my vehicles because I drive them minus the doors and the hardtops. That Oklahoma wind blowing down the Plains is my new car smell.

That Mazda I had came with only 8000 miles on it and was well under 1/3 the retail when I bought it at just over 3 years old. I always drive em till they drop or 200k miles, whichever comes first

 

[tjc8214]

Wait for the year end factory rebates to hit then by new. I just bought a 2018 truck for less than a 2017 I was looking at and it had 15,000 miles on it.
