Ima put my sales hat back on for a second and say if $800 makes or breaks the deal are you ready to move forward? I can’t do anything about DMV fees as Uncle Sam will always get his. But I can’t not charge you a Doc fee. Many people would have a right to complain they were charged. So if I take an additional $800 off the selling price are we ready to move forward?

I'm probably going to tell them my max is 50k and expect to not make a deal, unfortunately. My top price has increased too much already

Been there lol. I know how that goes. Truth is if you’re thousands apart it’ll be tricky depending on variables. But if it’s justifiable in their decisioning cool. There’s just not thousands of markup anymore. (Not talking pandemic markup either)

Absolutely, all you need is to print a Soverign US plate with an Anti-Road Pirate decorative hanger.
