This is not a local community forum, so for clarity, it would be much more useful to itemize the price out so others do not have to try and guess or "reverse engineer out" the amount of money going to the dealer as the selling price vs the amount going to pay taxes and registration (assuming others even know where the car was purchased and what local taxes and fees are there) plus and minus how a trade-in influenced the transaction.

I never said or inferred this was a local forum....I understand what you are saying however the poster referenced local area.... so if a person was to shop the local area OTD is the key....itemization of price is useless if you are comparing in the local taxable area.... in this case OTD is the key. If a poster wanted to compare instead of referencing the price paid then take into consideration the itemization of price in a different taxable area. I was referencing a specific post.

I just purchased an Accord LX-P at Honda of Santa Monica for $20,516, came to 22,500 OTD. I used the internet method.

Itemization is not useless even in the local area. If you want to also add it up and list a grand total OTD price in addition to itemization, fine, but quoting only the OTD without a break down is not helpful.
Even if someone was quoting a price for a car in my local city, I would still want to see where the total came from and what was involved in the deal such as financing trade-ins and dealer add ons.
Just quoting an OTD price paid without details is almost as bad as just quoting a monthly payment.

I guess this is where we see differently...for me OTD is the key vs fretting over fees if I am comparing in the local taxable area... I suppose the next dealer can have lower fees however have a higher OTD price..if you want to go with that dealer so be it.

2008 EX-L 4cyl no Nav

I am in South Carolina and have several dealers who can get me OTD for $25,000 with mud guards, trunk tray, mats and wheel locks.
If you figure we have a tax cap of $300 and "document" fees of $289, and tags x-transfer at $49 that puts the car itself (metallic polish metal on grey) at $24,362.
Does this sound like a pretty good deal?
Thanks

Geez, why not just give the breakdown of where there numbers came from instead of hiding it? Others will want to have all the details and can add the numbers and decide for themselves. No one said they want to pay a higher price at another dealer, but they want to know the full picture of the deal people are posting.
Trade-ins, dealer-provided financing and other parts of the deal that you omit when just listing OTD prices can make a massive difference in what is and what isn't a good deal.

I agree, the OTD price is meaningless to me
because I don't live in that locality. It is only good to those few people that live in that locality. This forum is for all, not just those in a certain locality.
