Oregon out-the-door price: common questions
Is there a limit on dealer doc fees in Oregon?
Yes. Oregon caps the dealer documentation fee at $250.00. A dealer that charges more is over the legal limit.
Is the doc fee taxed in Oregon?
No. Oregon does not charge sales tax on a separately stated doc fee. If your offer sheet shows tax on it, ask the dealer why.
What is added to the price of a car in Oregon?
On a $30,000 car bought from a dealer: sales tax of $150, a doc fee of up to $250, title from $101 and registration from $126. Any other dealer charges come on top.
How does a trade-in with a loan on it change what you pay in Oregon?
On a $30,000 car the out-the-door price is about $30,627, 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 $24,627. Oregon 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 Oregon'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.
