I don't see shipping a final product as overhead. I see it as a value-added service that brings the car to my local market. MACO is marketing. Marketing is not a value-added service. It is an expenditure that goes into the generation of revenue.

Of course there is a difference between them. I'm not saying they're the same. This thread is about the MACO being a BS fee that dealers try and charge the customer. My point is if the manufacturer of a product charges X for a product, it is a legitimate charge. They produced the item and set the cost. If you don't like it, you as a consumer can choose not buy the product, or in this case buy from a dealer who is not charged the MACO from the manufacturer. The latter is hard to do if you live in Southern California.
