I never seen doc and pre fees on a used private sale. Our dealers in Ohio charge around 150 for doc charges, plus sales tax if in state. Yes you would have shipping, if that how you do it. But I have to see what I buy used. So why not make a road trip of it? See it and buy it, and camp on the way back home?? Just need to make sure there is a notary if needed.
You can not get away from the sales tax for your state??
Our added coast were 1,200 miles of travel around $120, two nights motel/camping $100, food $150, transfer title and plates around $60 and 7.25% sales tax.
I had the seller put on new tires before I came out to see it, because they were very old. He agreed that anyone that would buy it, would have issues with the tires. So he agreed to have new tire on the camper for my trip, if I bought it.
When I called my DMV. I found out for my state, I did not need temp plates or plates to transport from out of state a new bought trailer to my house. So we traveled without plates.
