Hi guys. I'm in the market for my very first personal car and the whole process seems very overwhelming. I wanted to ask, what is the TOTAL I'll be required to pay (through financing) relating to car expenditures, when buying a $25000 MSRP car ? Can someone give me a breakdown of ALL the charges ?

    A lot of that will depend on your location and the vehicle you are buying.
    Also, the price of a car is negotiated. Not everyone will pay the same price.
    Some makes have financing incentives and other's don't.

    There are too many variables for anyone to give you a set answer.

    Thanks for your reply. Yes I agree with what you say. Let me ask in a difference way. Besides paying for the car itself, what other costs will I be paying ? I know tax is one thing. What else ?

    State and local DMV fees
    Most dealers have their own dealer/document fee. Sometimes it's egregious.
