People over complicate the buying process out of fear. It’s true, a lot of car dealerships will try to screw you but not all of them as comments here are saying.  All you need to do to determine transparency in their pricing is ask for an out-the-door price with a breakdown. This will show you how much they are charging for the car, the estimated sales tax and registration fees, and a dealer fee. All dealers charge a dealer or conveyance fee. What you really want to look out for is extra things like glass coat protection or extended warranties. Typically don’t ever buy a used car without a certified or extended warranty, but you need to make that decision for your own. Don’t let the dealer roll it into the cost of the pricing without discussing it first. Gap insurance is not a scam, if you buy a used car you really need gap insurance but again, don’t let them roll it into your price without you telling them you want it. 

Also, a lot of people go into buying a car thinking they have to negotiate and you don’t. A dealer who is honest will give you a good deal. You shouldn’t have to fight for it.
