I have bought my last 2 vehicles (including my Dak) through
fleet purchases. The advertising charge IS legitimate. It
is regional, not by state. It generally ranges from $200-$400.
During a negotiation, a dealer might or might not fight to get
this cost from the purchaser depending on holdbacks, price over
invoice, current month quotas, phase of the moon, etc.
I got mine for $50 over invoice plus advertising (350 I think).
