Why I originally asked is I paid $730 for registration and title on a new vehicle. As I understand it you cannot go to Sumter County office as I did with my car I brought from Maine, you must have dealer register and title it. The dealer of course gets a fee but I think they can charge what they want for their troubles. I suspect this is used as a profit center for dealers and is allowed by the state. If I'm off base here please someone let me know. There is no way I could come up with any where near $730 of State fees even with the $225 one time charge.
