DO NOT PAY $800 (or anything) for the seller to do the paperwork on the deal. If they charge to do 15-min of paperwork, run out the door to another dealer.
You will have to pay state and local taxes though.
I've yet to see a dealer who doesn't charge a doc fee... Although I haven't bought a ton of trailers. I've heard in California, at least for cars, that doc fees are standardized but everyone pays them.
Regardless, that's why I say include in my bottom line price. If I agree to pay 25K for the trailer, I don't care if you want to call 5000 of that a doc fee, it just better not be a penny more than 25000 or Im out the door.... and I include my state tax in my bottom line. Not hard to do the math for the tax.
