The vehicle price must include all charges except?

• A. Documentation fee
• B. Sales tax, title and registration fees
• C. Destination charge
• D. License fee

Answer: (B)

The price shown for a vehicle is meant to be the amount you pay the dealer for the car itself. Taxes and certain government fees, however, are not part of that price and are paid separately to the state or DMV. That’s why the charges that are not included in the vehicle price are the sales tax, title, and registration fees. These are government-imposed costs you handle outside the dealer’s price.

Destination charges and the documentation fee are dealer-related charges that the dealer can include in the price or itemize alongside it, so they’re considered part of the overall out-the-door cost rather than Taxes/Title/Registration. The license fee is a DMV-related charge, also not part of the car’s base price, but in the context of this standard rule, the key separations focus on taxes and title/registration as the items excluded from the advertised vehicle price.
