I have no doubt that the 'upcharges' for dealer prep and delivery charges are truthful.. the local CW here in Byron Ga tried that with me. They didn't get far at all as my wife commented 'what, you're going to charge us for costs to get the trailer here, when it is in your lot'? Their reply.. 'we have to start somewhere', to which my wife replied 'start somewhere with someone else', and she walked out....

So, first hand, that has happened to us. Coincident that two different CW's in different areas of the country are doing the same thing, and it not being a CW policy? Don't think so.

It is buyer beware, but is virtually no different than car dealerships who charge different prices for doc fees when the states don't regulate that. Here in GA, there is no state guidelines or regs for documentation fees, so dealerships can charge whatever they want. It's up to individuals to decide if they are willing to pay that amount, or go shop elsewhere. Consumers are responsible for knowing the details of their agreement.
