My sense is doc fees are all over the map, depending on dealership and what is included in the fee. When we bought our CX9 a month ago, the dealership's doc fee was $499 and included the first 4 oil changes and maintenance services. I was able to negotiate the fee down to $250, however it was...
Thanks for all the advice. I was already aware of the solutions everyone has mentioned - they are all successful workarounds for minor flaws in the design. My point was as good as the CX9 is, with a little more attention to detail it could have been even that much better.
We got our new CX9 AWD GT about a month ago. It's the wife's daily driver and also the family vehicle for longer trips. I had the opportunity to spend some time in it over the weekend traveling to and from Pittsburgh attending the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix.
It is such a huge improvement...
