Frequently Asked Questions: Georgia Used Car Out-The-Door Price Calculator (7% Title Ad Valorem Tax)
What is a fair out-the-door (OTD) price for a 2022 Toyota RAV4 listed at $25,500?
A 2022 Toyota RAV4 listed at $25,500 typically includes $2,740 in negotiable gross dealer margin above the $21,420 wholesale acquisition floor. Your target pre-tax vehicle price is $24,468, resulting in an all-in Out-the-Door offer between $25,137 (in capped doc-fee states like California) and $25,821 (after offsetting uncapped dealer doc fees).
How do state dealer documentation fee caps impact my out-the-door counter-offer?
States like California ($85 cap) and New York ($175 cap) legally restrict dealer documentation fees, whereas uncapped states like Florida ($999 average) allow dealers to pack extra profit into the F&I contract. Always reduce your base vehicle offer dollar-for-dollar by any documentation fee exceeding $175.

Franchise dealers acquire trade-in and auction inventory near $21,420 (84% of retail sticker) and retain a 2.5% OEM holdback allowance ($637) plus floorplan credits, creating $2,740 of negotiation spread before hitting their hard cost floor.
