Dealer Doc Fees

Please correct me if I’m wrong but don’t dealers in states with capped doc fees just add that portion to the “non tax” fees or title and registration fees line item to get around it? I see brokers advertising “low doc fees” but looking under the hood is it really much better?

Usually they just charge other fees, the actual doc fee must be listed at the accurate amount.

We don’t “make up for” low doc fees in any of our deals, whatever we put in that box is whatever it actually is.

You should understand that when doing out of state plates/reg, it’s normal to have a little buffer in there, and have the difference get refunded.
