I know everywhere is different with the percentage of tax and all. Looking at getting a 3k car, seeing if anybody would know what I am looking at spending after the sale to. For title transfer, I need a plate, everything else. It has been a while since I have bought a car. I live in Florida.
Sorry if this is dumb , but could someone please explain this to me… I’m in North Alabama and have been shopping around for a used car. I have emailed a dealer in FL because of a pretty good deal on the SUV I’m looking for and asked they send me the OTD price. I feel like after the fees the deal isn’t so good lol. They have the most doc fee of anyone I have spoken to in AL or TN and they also have a $474.25 Tag Fee added on. I asked the lady if that was suppose to be the charge we would have in AL “title/registration fee” and she said yes. The only deal is that fee in AL and pretty sure in TN is $16.50. When I asked her to clarify, her exact response was “By FL law we have to do all the registration and tag work to our FL DMV and they the one that will communicate with AL DMV. This fee is not tax” … I’m still a little confused … so I will pay their fee and not pay for registration when I register in AL for my tag at the courthouse/DMV? Any help with this ?
