Are you paying too much in Doc Fees?
What dealer fees are normal?
When buying a car, you will always have to pay tax, title, and registration. However, many dealers slide in thousands of dollars in "junk fees."
- Documentation Fees (Doc Fees): In some states, these are capped at $75. In others, they can be over $1,200. Always check your state's laws.
- Nitrogen Tires: A common $200-$400 markup for something the air we breathe is already 78% made of.
- VIN Etching: A $300 charge for a service that costs $20 to do yourself and rarely deters thieves.
