So a replacement for the Rover has been found at a large dealership having looked at a number of cars. Yve and I agreed this is the one so to start negotiating. Right the salesman said the car is £x plus £99 admin charge and that was the cue for me to explode. I do not go to buy a TV and the ticket says, say, £600 and the dealer then says ‘that is plus £30 admin charge’.

Now, whilst it seems to be coming more common at dealers and, indeed when they buy your car they charge an admin fee. Surely, this is a case of false advertising by making the car look cheaper than it is in reality because of the admin charge.

Wonder of they will risk losing the sale for £99?

The order form still showed the admin charge but we paid the window price of the car to include the admin charge, years RFL, service and delivery (Ashford Kent to a long way up in Lincolnshire)
