I checked my paperwork and I was charge a $50 document fee. There is also a little paragraph next the the fee that states this fee is not an official fee and not required by law, but may be charged to buyers for handling documents and performing services relating to the closing of a sale. It also states that the document fee cannot exceed $50 for a motor vehicle contract (this may be area specific, I'm in Texas).
I would take that info and go back to the dealership and demand my $149 back.
