Hello, I had a quick question for you guys concerning the fees (specifically for CA and the dealership is in Irvine). On a lease worksheet (especially with the same car company) I’ve never seen a “county fee” or even know what a “CA TIF” fee is. When I asked, the dealer said those were both the DMV fees. Anyone know or seen these before?
Just curious, what car are you looking at with a dealer markup 
My mom wants the new KIA Telluride (SX trim) lol. Only 1 or 2 dealers will sell at MSRP but not lower. Most are still doing 5-10k markup… lol.
I told her to look for a new future car or you’ll have to wait till maybe january…not sure what other car she can get (she likes the “boxy” look).

She can buy a couple of late 90’s Explorers for the price of the markup alone
lol oh, with the quotes I’m getting she can buy a Tesla model X or a high end porsche lol. Monthly ranging from 750-950 LOL

Isn’t Model X a minivan instead of SUV?

That’s ridiculous… I’d never over MSRP for a Telluride, as much as I love them. Cant she get by a little longer with what she has?!
Or just go to a different dealer. There are plenty in CA that are advertising selling at MSRP.
I think there are other things you should be concerned about before the CA fees.

Her lease ends at Sept so not really hah. Plus she really hates her car and got pressured into it.
Nope. Only 1 MAYBE 2 are selling at MSRP but nothing lower at all. Most still have 5-10k markup with very little inventory.
You can estimate new vehicle CA DMV fees here:

Usually ends up being ~1.25% of selling price.
