They do it because most car shoppers don't know that they don't have to pay those fees
It isn't Illegal because you are agreeing to paying those fees when you sign the contract. Once you sign you are locked in.
By law the only fee that is regulated is the Document fee at $75
Everything else is Buyer Beware.
When I said Price + Tax "by law", I meant that those are the only two things you MUST pay. Total agreed to price plus tax. Agreed to price can include the price of the car and any extras they toss at you.
If you can, look at a nice area outside of NYC to buy a car. I've never been to a dealership in queens that wasn't playing games.
I'm still confused. Do you mean I am entitled to buy the car with the advertised price plus the doc fee and tax and the dealer must honor it? What if they don't?

I have a question-
when I first moved to Houston,I took my car in for repair,there seems to be more accidents then in Houston.
A couple got their new car wrecked,they were given an option of taking the cash from the insurance co or use it to fix the car?
They opt to take the money,it was like $17k.
My understanding is that insurance co just does not write you a check until they verify the repair bill,so could it be the repair shop making up repair bills and get a cut of that $17K?
AND the couple gets the $17k,but the car is not yet paid for,so the financing co takes a beating?if they repo the car,they end up with a wreck ?

They have ways to wriggle out of the deal,like tell you that they have something better or there is a problem you must know.or someone just beat you to it .

Gap insurance is your answer to the last question.

The financing company has to be paid off. There is a reason why the finance company has a lien on the title. The insurance money would first go to pay the lienholder.

You don't get a check until the insurance rep looks at the car, takes pictures and confirm the repair shop pricing. There is no way an insurance company will take the word of the car repair shop. The repair shop doesn't get a cut of anything.
You take the $17K to pay off your car loan. If you owe more than $17K to the financing company, you pay with your own money. If the loan is less than $17K, then you have some leftover money.
If you skip out on the financing company, you'll be sued and your credit rating will be in the toilet.
