Is the dealer allowed to charge $899 "Dealer Fee" for a new car?

What about people who had older cars registed in other states and paid the sales tax there and move to florida and want to transfer the tags. What would the carges for this scenario be?

There is a computer fee charge to get a paper title $150.
All other fees are found on line to transfer current plates & title. They may get 2 years of plates should all be explained to you or don't sign to buy the auto. If you don't transfer plates there is a one time charge of $250. |

The dealer can charge whatever "dealer fee" they want to charge, as long as you are willing to pay it.

You don't have to pay sales tax on an older car, but you do need a new Florida title and registration. The total cost is about $300 to $350 for both.

I did that in January, the car was purchased in NYS in 2016, I had the clear title and proof of Florida Insurance. I paid for a sticker through 2021 I paid $488.50 in Sumter County. I don't have my receipt for a breakdown of the fees.

Do listen to villagetinker and neikenberry and go to the DMV at 466A and Powell rd. Dealer not only overcharged but also gave us the wrong plate. DMV called the dealer and told them we were overcharged and they would handle the plate issue and title transfer. Got the overcharge back and took the wrong plate back to the dealer.

I think most are missing the point of my post. I'm not asking how to negotiate with a car dealer but asking is the state of Florida complicit in the financial rape of consumers by not setting a standard fee for all dealers to charge. For my part I had no idea it was mandatory that dealers registered and titled cars here unlike in my former state. Nor did I know they could charge want they wanted. Out the door or not there are numbers on the title and registration lines on sale form.

If you paid too much money to a car dealer, don't feel bad. We all did at one point in our lives. In my opinion, the main thing is to buy a car that you truly enjoy driving. We have a 2003 Acura RSX and a 2005 Honda Accord, both with 5-spd trannys, and we really enjoy driving them. |

You will likely have paid sales tax in the other state at time of purchase. When you register the car here you show proof and that is credited towards the Florida tax.
