    Those hidden car fees are still here, despite the FTC

    The FTC is attempting to address hidden fees in car sales by promoting all-in pricing, but dealerships continue to advertise low prices while adding mandatory charges later. Buyers often face unexpected costs like documentation fees and dealer-installed accessories, leading to final prices higher than advertised. Dealers defend the practice as necessary due to complex pricing structures and competitive pressures.
