Trade-in treatment
A qualifying dealer trade-in generally reduces the taxable price in the planning model. Private sales do not treat a separate sale as a dealer trade-in.
Title and registration
Florida charges can include title, plate and registration amounts plus a $225 initial registration fee when applicable. A transferred plate or an exemption can materially reduce the amount.
