#660 of 667 Re: Confusing Buyers Order line items? [imidazol97] by oldfarmer50 Sep 07, 2009 (2:51 pm)
Replying to: imidazol97 (Sep 07, 2009 12:31 pm) "...This talks about..."   I found that same web site and ended up more confused. If you plug in the rates to the OPs figures it doesn't make sense.   That same site DOES tell you how to apply for tax stamps to put on your illegal drugs though.   I agree, go to "Sales Stories" and ask joel.

Let's say you want to buy a car in Florida. I've read that the doc fees on new cars can top $600. What about used cars?   If you buy a $4000 beater is it possible they would slap a $600 doc fee on that too?   Or can you expect to pay a percentage of the purchase price?

Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Sep 09, 2009 2:51 pm) The most recent used car I bought from a dealer was bought at Carmax and the fee was $174 with another $24 fee at closing that was not disclosed up front. I was in negotiations with another new car dealer prior for a one yr old used car and their fee was $599, so I guess it doesn't matter, new or used, still the same BS fee.

Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Sep 09, 2009 2:51 pm) My guess is that in a dealership all doc fees are the same regardless of what you buy - from a beater to a Bentley. Replies to this message: oldfarmer50 (Sep 10, 2009 6:41 am) jipster (Sep 10, 2009 7:28 am) oldfarmer50 (Sep 10, 2009 9:21 am)

Replying to: lrguy44 (Sep 09, 2009 2:59 pm) "...regardless of what you buy..."   Yikes! So in theory the price of a $100 car could be raised 600% just due to fees. That's sick.   Still, I supose you just make your offer $600 light to compensate. Replies to this message: jipster (Sep 10, 2009 7:28 am) oldfarmer50 (Sep 10, 2009 9:21 am)

Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Sep 10, 2009 6:41 am) Still, I supose you just make your offer $600 light to compensate   That would be making an offer of negative $500.   "Hey dude, give me 500 dollars and I'll buy that $100 car." Might be worth a try. Replies to this message: oldfarmer50 (Sep 10, 2009 9:21 am)

Replying to: jipster (Sep 10, 2009 7:28 am) "...Making an offer of negative $500..."   Didn't you ever look at a car and say "They couldn't PAY me enough to drive that car"?   Now you know how much to ask.
