Fees and Taxes to Anticipate When Buying Used Cars in Medford, OR

You can certainly save on a vehicle purchase by considering one of our used cars in Medford, OR. However, you don’t want to forget to factor in the fees and taxes. To help you plan for your purchase, Kia Medford is outlining the added costs that you should expect with your purchase.

Taxes

In the state of Oregon, there isn’t a sales tax on vehicles. However, there is a Corporate Activity Tax (CAT) and a Vehicle Privilege Tax, although they are generally covered by the dealership. If you purchase a vehicle out of state and need to register it in Oregon, you will also owe a Vehicle Use Tax.

Fees

There are a few fees associated with used cars, which are state-mandated. First, you’ll need to pay a title fee to transfer the document to your name. There are also dealership fees that you will owe, including a documentation fee to cover the cost of preparing and filing paperwork. You’ll also owe a reconditioning fee to cover the cost of cleaning, inspecting, and servicing your vehicle to prepare it for sale.

Additional Costs

In addition to fees and taxes, there are some other costs associated with purchasing a vehicle that you should plan for. You’ll need to register the vehicle in your name, and that could include an additional cost if you need a new license plate. There are also minimum insurance coverage requirements for drivers in Oregon, so make sure that you discuss insurance plans with your insurance company.
