California car buyers face a 488% higher fee under a bill the Senate just passed

THE CALIFORNIA STATE OVERWHELMINGLY – and with bipartisan support – approved legislation that would allow car dealers to charge buyers up to $500 extra on each vehicle purchase, a blatant departure from promises both parties made this year to lower costs for Californians.

The bill’s opponents said they were shocked senators would disregard their pledge by adding more “junk fees.”
