In this round of quotes, I’m seeing a lot of range for TTL (well, take out tax, it’s title & license). Same vehicle, same price, same address to register it - prices range from $125-$450 or so. I think we have $125, $250 (both one-year registration) and $450 (no statement about how many years). One year here should be about $72 (possibly add $25 for out of state); three years $225.
Clearly this is another dealer profit center.
Any other observations or experiences? Are there ever options to DIY TTL if you are financing outside dealership? Bring a letter from lender and all DMV forms pre-filled, along with check to DMV for agreed-upon amount, and pre-paid priority mail envelope?
I don’t mind paying a few dollars for the dealership to press a few keys and send in electronic registration, but I do mind a few hundred dollars.
Florida is worse - dealership wanted to charge friend’s dad over $400, said there’s $198 fee for electronic registrations. Friend called DMV - of course BS, and the entire cost of the registration, submitted electronically, was $172.50.
