Car Buying Fee's Question?

[bjtheman1]

As I'm looking around currently, I started thinking about all these fee's they add to the purchase cost.

What fee's get applied upon buying a used car from a dealership?

Don't forget the Truecoat.

[Baron Von Crowder]

generally it is the purchase price of the car + tax (6.25%?) plus title/reg (~$125)

If you buy from an individual, the state will tax you based on the presumed value, but from a dealer you pay tax on the sale price, reguardless of the presumed value.

Anything else is just added on by the dealer.

I only charge TT&L, but some used dealers charge other fees. The state allows us to charge a $50 documentary fee, but I don't.

Checking autotrader I've seen these under a couple I was looking at:

Disclaimer
Sales Tax, Title, License Fee, Registration Fee, Dealer Documentary Fee, Finance Charges, Emission Testing Fees and Compliance Fees are additional to the advertised price


Disclaimer
All prices plus tax, tag, title, documentary fee, and dealer service charge. The sale of any new or used vehicle is subject to our mandatory fee, in addition to any negotiated vehicle price, for coupons entitling the purchaser to discounts on service and parts. See dealer for details!

Alright, change it up a little...do you get charged sales tax and other fees if buying out of state? If so, do you have to pay double sales tax when you come back to your state?

You pay taxes to the state you register with. I bought my jeep in Alabama but since I was moving they let me wait to pay in Texas

So when you bought your jeep, the price that was listed at the dealer was the price you paid out the door?

We just hand you the title and report that it's going out of state. You pay tax on it when it's registered in your state.

That is correct.

You'll get the license, registration tax's, and the dealer will add a $50 doc fee. Bitch about it and have them remove it. Just an arbitrary fee they charge for doing paperwork.

Another question:

Does having a autocheck/carfax report showing it was previously in an accident (the one I am looking to buy shows it was rear ended) help negotiation?

It's been repaired, but didn't know if that was a good bargaining point.

Im looking at an MDX that is out of state, but I don't feel like flying out there just to haggle and walk away, so I have to jew them down before sending a deposit.

Can't believe it took 12 post's for someone to point that out. You guy's are slippin'.

[IHaveAMustang]

I fully understand the original question was related to fee's, I was just curious how taxes worked.

Would you prefer me starting another thread and cluttering up our Back Porch even more?

Derp indeed

I add a 199 administration fee to every sale we do. It's non negotiable. If a customer walks on a sale over 200,then that same customer is going to be a pain in the ass later anyways. We would move 30-40 vehicles a month in 2012. That extra 200 pays a lot of bills.
