Day-Of Taxes and Fees
Purchasing a pre-owned Mazda vehicle can save you a lot of money. Not only will your down payment and monthly payments be lower, but you’ll also have smaller in-between costs like sales tax and insurance.
You’ll even save on depreciation. Still, there are a few day-of taxes and fees that you’ll want to budget for when purchasing a pre-owned Mazda.
- Dealer Fees: The dealer will take care of a lot of your paperwork and purchasing logistics. They’ll inspect and register the vehicle, so you don’t have to worry about long waits to get your car on the road. These services often come with a small fee.
- Title and Registration: While the dealer will take care of the registration process, the title and registration do still cost money. The cost is relatively low, but you’ll still want to factor it into your Mazda budget.
- Sales Tax: Sales tax can really add up. One reason that many drivers will trade in their vehicle is that the sales tax will only be calculated after the trade-in value has been deducted, which means big saving. Sales tax is usually around 6%, so it’s always a good idea to include sales tax costs in your budget.
