$898 in dealer fees seems egregious to me. You may be able to argue that down.

It's been a very long time since I've titled a car in Florida. $450 sounds high? But that item is marked as a deposit, so I believe the dealer will be mailing you a refund of the difference due back to you once they register and determine the actual cost.

The rest looks fine for a Premium AWD standard range battery.

Oh and by the way, dealers around here add *thousands* to the cost for really cheap/dumb "Desert Protection Packages" with junk like nitrogen filled tires and alarm systems.... So the $898 is not so bad... Still, you should try to knock that down to $100 or so.

Any tips, talking points, tactics, etc, for "knocking down" charges?

My approach is to get email addresses for each prospective dealer. Then I tell them very specifically what my purchase requirements are (model, trim, options) and I ask them for their competitive offer, inclusive of all fees.

I also let them know that I'm approaching other dealers with the same request, and that I'll follow up once I've collected enough responses.

Then I follow up with the best offers and if all seems fair to me, I proceed.

If it turns out they were playing games with me, I move on and approach the second best option, and so on.
