OT car dealers- What is the cap on documentation...
Posted on 5/1/21 at 8:02 am

fees in Louisiana? What is the total registration/ license plate cost in Louisiana?
A friend was told by a car dealer that the documentation fee would be $400. She (believe me, you don't want pics) was told this at at dealership on the West Bank in NOLA.

“She” should bring a hotter friend to negotiate

Don't think there is a cap. I've seen dealers try to charge close to $1k for documentation. Ridiculous 
. Walk out of places like that. It's the only way they'll learn
I won't accept a deal that includes a doc fee over $150 just a general rule.

Cap on doc fee is currently $200 in Louisiana.
The registration fee is separate and varies on the price of the vehicle. A 1/2 ton truck is $112 though.
Of course then there is a title fee, a notary fee, temp tag fee, maybe a convenience fee, new car gets a tire tax. If your financing a lien recording fee.
Add it all up, it’s probably over $400

La State cap for doc fees is $200. Doesn’t include Dealer Prep/Setup Fees, or any other charges for ADP/Additional Dealer Profit/Mark Up.
Some dealerships now charge “Convenience Fee”, capped @ $18.50, to sub out licensing & titling process...
Have Fun!

How often are you buying new cars? This isn’t even something on my radar to consider

Next time give them your out the door bottom line total offer and they can take it or not.
