The doc tag fee is not required by FL, it is another bogus add on, it cost them $12 to do the registration plus the DMV fee itself.

I was shopping last week, said it's mandated by FL, it's not FL has no such requirement,
they tried to add $499, I refused, showed them another dealer adding $99.
they knocked off $400.

then the BS Prep $1199, the manufacturer gives them $$ to prep the car, again refused they dug their heals in on that, I said fine changed my offer to $1199 less.

that worked,

I was trying for 12% discount off MSRP, best found was 8% out of state but no dealer in FL would do more than 5%.
