Used car dealer fees in every state
The same used car can cost hundreds more to buy in one state than another, purely on fees. Some states cap the doc fee at under $200; others let it run past $900. Pick your state to see the doc fee rules, sales tax, title and registration costs, and the charges worth pushing back on.
