    Default DOC Fees Phoenix Area

    When to purchase a trailer to haul my Spyder from a Motorcycle Dealer in the Phoenix area yesterday. I was happy with price and said I'll take it. He handed me the purchase order for payment and he had added on $350.00 for DOC fees on a 3,000.00 trailer I said that's to much he would not lower the DOC fees. I left.

    When I traded for NEW the Doc Fee was $125. And right on that line of the State-supplied form, the fine print says: (May Not Exceed $50).

    I've learned to specifically negotiate the "out the door" price just for this reason...a dealership I've purchased numerous vehicles from (friends with one of the salesmen) charges $350 on every sale, non negotiable, per the owner, so I always clearly state we are negotiating the "out the door" price on any sale.

    They will try and get you wherever they can. Its not about making a fair profit its about making a maximum profit. If they could get people to pay $1000 for doc fees i bet they would. $3000 is why i dont have a trailer yet to haul my spyder though, even though i would eventually like one. Keeping me eyes open

    Try Big Tex on broadway in Mesa Jim. $350 is pretty standard in AZ but you can negotiate it if you stick to your guns. Cars, MC, Trailers or anything that is is registered in AZ.

    Default What a rip.

    I live in the NW valley and bought a 7' x16' enclosed to haul my in. Paid trailer cost, taxes, and MVA fees for registration and tags. No DOC fees. Check out Jackssons Trailers on Grand Ave in Glendale. Nice guys to deal with.
