Q:  What is the out-the-door price on a car??  

A:  The out-the-door-price is the total cost you pay for a new vehicle. It includes the agreed upon price of the new vehicle plus tax, title and license fees, documentary fees, and optional finance add-ons. It also factors in interest rates, your trade-in value and down payment. If there are hidden fees or extras in the contract this is where you'll find them. So as I always say read what you sign.
