Alaska out-the-door price: common questions

Is there a limit on dealer doc fees in Alaska?

No. Alaska sets no dollar cap on dealer documentation fees, so they vary from dealer to dealer. Ask for the doc fee in writing and compare it between dealers.

What is added to the price of a car in Alaska?

On a $30,000 car bought from a dealer: sales tax of $0, the dealer's doc fee, title from $15 and registration from $100. Any other dealer charges come on top.

How does a trade-in with a loan on it change what you pay in Alaska?

On a $30,000 car the out-the-door price is about $30,115, before any fees we cannot price. A $10,000 trade-in with $4,000 still owed gives you $6,000 of trade-in equity, which comes off what is left to pay: about $24,115. Alaska gives no tax break for this trade-in, so the out-the-door price stays the same.

How we calculate this

Out-the-door price = selling price + tax + doc fee + title + registration + other fees − rebate. Trade-in equity = trade-in value − loan still owed on it. Balance after trade-in = out-the-door price − trade-in equity. Tax follows Alaska's rules for trade-ins, rebates and doc fees. Where a fee varies, we start from the lowest published amount. An empty fee field counts as $0, and the calculator lists it as still to add.
