While Palmer Dodge uses $1,550 as their standard fee, pricing may vary slightly by:
Contact us for exact pricing in your area.
Same pricing applies. We coordinate with dealerships in both locations and handle everything electronically.
Purchasing or selling multiple vehicles? Contact us for volume pricing.
Pricing may differ for commercial vehicles over 10,000 lbs. Contact us for a quote.
The fee is set by the authorized dealership. However, how you split it between buyer and seller is entirely negotiable.
The $1,550 covers our transaction services. Standard government fees (DMV, title transfer, registration) still apply as they would in any vehicle sale. If the buyer chooses financing, warranty, or GAP insurance, those are separate optional purchases.
Our service is comprehensive. We don't offer "à la carte" options because every element works together to ensure a safe, legal transaction.
Absolutely! Dealerships mark up vehicles $3,000-$8,000 over what they paid. Our $1,550 fee lets you keep private party pricing while getting dealership-level security and services.
The fee is due at the time of transaction. If the buyer is financing the vehicle purchase, some lenders may allow rolling the fee into the loan. Ask your dealer.
