In most cases, the tax and licensing fees associated with purchasing a car from a dealership do not include the cost of license plates. License plates are typically purchased separately from a government agency, such as the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The cost of license plates can vary depending on the state and type of vehicle. It is important to factor in the cost of license plates when budgeting for the purchase of a car.
When you buy a car from a dealership, the dealer will typically handle the paperwork and fees associated with registering the car and getting license plates. However, there may be additional fees and taxes due at the time of registration, such as a sales tax or a registration fee. It is important to check with the dealership or the DMV to find out what fees are due in order to avoid any surprises.
