The $695 destination fee IS NOT arbitrary. It costs money to ship a car via cargo ship from Japan to Long Beach, CA. It's not like a stork with a sling around its beak carrying your 370 is dropping it off one at a time from dealership to dealership. And if a new car is built here in the U.S., Canada or Mexico, it takes an 18-wheeler to deliver it. You know, an 18-wheeler requires fuel, goes through wear and tear, maintenance and costs money to subcontract a company to deliver vehicles for Nissan.
Dealerships always fill your tank up when you purchase a new car i.e. one that's never been RS'd as it's called, "registration of sale."
Things don't happen out of thin air.
