Honda does charge the dealer a small amount for freight (the destination fee). The amount that most dealers try to charge the customer for freight and set-up goes well beyond what Honda charges the dealer. That added mark-up is nearly all pure profit for the dealer.

As for the documentation fee, here in California dealerships never waive that fee, nor do they negotiate its cost. They charge the same number to every customer, every time. The only manner by which a doc fee could said to be negotiated is when the dealer simply deducts the equivalent of the doc fee from the selling price. The standard doc fee is always still included in the itemized contract.

Edit: As I mentioned earlier, the one exemption to charging a doc fee is for out-of-state purchases and deliveries. If a customer provides his own delivery truck and a bill of lading for an out-of-state delivery and registration, meaning he will not operate the vehicle in the state of California and he will handle all the DMV paperwork himself in his home state, then the dealership may waive the doc fee, since it's a fee charged by the dealership to process the California DMV paperwork.
