Literally, documention fee for cost to complete all necessary paperwork imposed by various authorities. Actually, a fat way to get more profit with the excuse to charge what they are expected to do for being the seller. Who reimburses the buyer for filling out all of that crap paperwork? Stupid question, right? Just as stupid for the seller.
In Florida, there is apparently a law that you cannot charge a doc fee for one person and not everyone so they put in in dark print on every sales agreement and say they will be investigated by the state attorney general if they waive it for an individual. Just have them discount the sales price the same amount is the way around it.
The best way around ALL of the dealer garbage, which will only get more "creative", is to negoiate an OUT THE DOOR PRICE. An agree up front that it is the check including every and all costs.
