My university does this, tuition is X price but if you pay by CC they add an additional 3% to cover any CC fees.

If you paid by CC and the fee was say $1000, then you paid $1000 more than what you could have paid. It may not be so black and white because a dealer will make money on hold back, kick backs, inventory volume, incentives to push a car, rebates etc etc you'll never see or know about. Unless your dad or something owns the dealership and pulls out all stops we'll never no a true price. And then it's still different for dealers with different volumes.
