Ask the dealership

- Is the doc fee your standard charge for every buyer?
- What is the APR if I bring my own financing?
- Which fees are required by the state vs. by the dealer?
- Can you email the full itemized buyer's order?

Text message to dealer
Hi, I'm interested in the 2024 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XLE, but I'm making my decision based on the complete out-the-door price rather than only the monthly payment. Please send an itemized buyer's order showing the selling price, every dealer fee, taxes, registration, optional products, APR, loan term, and amount financed. I'd be prepared to move forward at an out-the-door price of $40,305, with no additional mandatory products or undisclosed charges.
