what is the standard doc fee? I had a dealer ADD in $650 for doc fees on a new RAV 2016 and I thought this was just padding their cost. I know/think I read it should not cost a lot or anything.

It depends; some states limit the amount a dealer can charge (CA = $80, OH = $250), but other states don't.bluridge444 said:what is the standard doc fee?

Here in CO, dealer fees range from $400-600. In Florida, I've had folks post that their doc fee is as high as $899!
You want to know what that amount is going into the negotiations, and making your offer accordingly.Edmunds Price Checker
