Hidden Car Dealership Fees: Are Add-Ons Just Markups?

Are Mandatory Add-ons at Car Dealerships Just Hidden Markups? A recent video by car buying advocate Delivrd has sparked debate about the transparency of car dealerships. Delivrd, who negotiates car deals, questions the practice of mandatory add-on packages, often costing thousands of dollars. "I've heard dealerships claim they don't markup their vehicles," says Delivrd, "yet they still include these expensive add-on packages." This practice raises concerns about whether consumers are being fully informed about the true cost of a vehicle. The video highlights the need for greater transparency in the car buying process, encouraging consumers to be more aware of hidden costs.
