Total Order Cost

[BMart]

Well guys, it's finally happening. I found a dealer that has agreed to $500 over invoice, so I will be placing my order next week. I'm anticipating to see some fees added onto the "$500 over invoice," but I'm not informed enough to know what fees are legit and which are the dealer trying to milk me. So I thought I would ask:

If TrueCar is pricing my Raptor's invoice at $46,240 and the dealer is offering $500 over invoice, is there any legit fees that would push the VOC over $46,740?

Thanks all. Soon...soon...

$500 over invoice is probably there "admin" fees. They may try and tack on titling or registration fees saying that it's not included in their dealer fees.

You can figure delivery, fuel, documetation fee probably all told might add another 1500 to the price... Then tax and license probably about 49k by the time your done...

The destination and delivery charge of $995 should be included on your Truecar invoice pricing (you'll see it there). The ADV on there ($610) (and most sites) is usually low by $100 to $200. Plus a tank of gas at regular price. You should also find out what their "doc" fees are. Don't let them milk you with ridiculous doc fees (couple hundred reasonable not $500-700).

In California dealers are limited to 55.00 doc fee.... It maybe slightly more now but the state says this is what your allowed to charge max...

Thanks for clearing this up guys. I wasn't really sure if the ADV fee was a negotiable thing or not.

i got mine at invoice plus $250 admin fee, so basically $250 over invoice. i could have tried to negotiate that down, but i doubt they woulda budged. they made dealer holdback + $250, so they didnt exactly give it away. it was a good deal anyways so i ran with it

The key thing to remember is negotiate OTD (Out the Door) price. This is the amount you're going to write on the check you give them and not a penny more. Make this understood up front and be willing to walk if they try to screw with it upon delivery.

Now in Oklahoma we don't pay tag and tax til we go to the tag agent so that simplifies it even more.
