My Ride: 2007 550i - Monaco Blue with Auburn Interior. Sport, auto. Ordered 10-30-06
Default

I'm running some final numbers before my car shows up and I have a question. I've seen people on this board talk about a "Acquisition Fee", and I've seen prices thrown around from $695 to $825. In my price quote from my dealer I have a "Destination Charge" for $695. Is the Acquisition Fee the same thing? Can/ is it advertized in the Lease of the car (I'm going to take advantage of the .00150 money factor on the 550 and lease). Anyone know the answer?

No, the acquisition fee is the bank charge charged by the finance company.
The destination fee is the transportation expense that is a part of the price of the car charged by the dealer.

They also try to slide in "documentation fees" at the end. Especially in Nevada
