Vehicle registration, taxes and documentation fees are not included in the advertised price of vehicle. Vehicle availability is subject to change without notice. Photos and Vehicle Options may not accurately represent options, features or condition of actual vehicle, please confirm vehicle listing with dealer.
All dealerships have an Documentation fee. At East Wake Auto Sales, LLC our fee is $300 and is applied to all vehicles sold. Unless otherwise stated that documentation fee is not included in the listed price of any particular vehicle. For your peace of mind we have placed this information to disclose to you all the reasons we are required to charge this fee.
The Documentation Fee, also known as a administration or service fee, addresses costs incurred by dealerships that are separate from those paid to acquire the vehicle. The Documentation Fee recognizes some of the costs related to compliance with federal and state laws which provide for safety, consumer protection, anti-theft measures, vehicle history checks, notifications, certifications, and official filings.
Much work and expense occur even before a document is ready to be used and there are many documents. Before vehicles can be sold dealers must invest in personnel training to carry out legal mandates. Not all transactions involve the same services, but all carry many legal requirements and documents to support those requirements. Car and Truck dealerships must comply with state and federal laws, rules, and regulations specific to motor vehicles, which are implemented and enforced by state and federal agencies.
