Florida Car Dealer demanding to handle out of state title / registration

Im currently corresponding with a car dealership in South Florida about a sale and I am a Louisiana resident. This dealership is demanding to handle the titling & registration of the vehicle in Louisiana at time of sale in Florida…and of course charge me huge fees to do so. However, I looked up and even quoted to them the Florida Highway Safety title transfer procedure manual that they are not required to handle out of state registration titling.
Has anyone bought in Florida from out of state where they demanded to handle out of state registration themselves?

Florida dealerships have developed an unsavory reputation for all sorts of things like this.
If you are in Louisiana consider Texas dealers as an alternative. And tell the Florida man why.

New car or used? Are you financing?

The dealer was probably relying on those fee’s to make up for the cheap price they gave you. There are dealers out there who make a reputation for themselves attracting people from outside their territory with crazy low prices. Once the person shows up from hours away….BAM hit em with the fee’s and nail em on any accessories. Best to pay the best deal you can get locally with the dealership who has the best service.

I bought in Florida in 2020 and they did handle the out of state title and registration. It was seamless for me. No huge fees.

Excuse my ignorance
How do you get a temp tag to drive the car home from Florida, if the dealer doesn’t arrange for the registration?

Then walk away OP. This is why you always get the actual complete invoice with total out the door price. Plenty of dealers have add on fees beyond just the vehicle price.
I just bought a used vehicle yesterday in Florida and it was less than $500 in fees.
