I recently placed an order for a V2 Born.
I notice on the order form there's a 'Dealer Administration Fee' of £165.83.
When I priced up the car on Cupra's website I didn't see any mention of this so, just before I make a fool of myself at the dealers, is this a normal addition? Has anyone else been charged this administration fee for a new vehicle?

I suspect this is a new thing since the dealerships became a place for window shopping and collection, with the car considered to be ordered direct from Cupra themselves, with a bit of dealership interaction. This wasn't the case a year ago, it's a new thing Cupra have brought in - seemingly to remove the opportunity to haggle with the dealership. If you haven't negotiated a discount and are paying full RRP, I would check that the total amount being paid matches up with the on the road RRP of the car on the website, and isn't a penny more.

Thanks for the info. I called the dealer and they removed the admin fee.monkeyhanger wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2023 12:03 pm I suspect this is a new thing since the dealerships became a place for window shopping and collection, with the car considered to be ordered direct from Cupra themselves, with a bit of dealership interaction.
