FDAF/LMDA Assessment Fee
Yeah, I paid it. At first, I thought it was BS but then I read about others paying it here so I didn't feel bad about it. The fleet guy said it was a Ford regional advertising charge that everyone paid.
Canada may be unavoidable if there are import fees or some crap (even though the borders are basically open). All I know is that Ford charges everyone equally for the cars and that it's supposedly roughly the average for all cars. It makes it viable for dealerships to settle in more remote areas for the customer's convenience, ensuring that there's almost certainly a dealership within 50 miles of wherever you are. I could also see it helping make fair competition around rival plants. Imagine how hard it would be to sell a Camaro in Detroit if it cost the local Ford dealership $10 to ship their cars in from the factory down the street when the local Chevy dealership paid $1000 to get their car in.
What do you think about a special fee for a minority dealer. Its called MDA. While its only $15.00 I don't see why Ford practices racial favoritism. All dealers should be treated equal and so should the customers.
