Destination fees are likely a nice profit center for carmakers, but I can’t say that definitively because there is little transparency about what goes into them or why they differ radically between makes and models. But I do believe shipping and dealer prep are as essential a part of bringing a car to market as conducting crash tests and should be folded into MSRP the same way.

Just another way to “defraud” the car buyer!
