Purchase

Out-the-door price

The out-the-door (OTD) price is the total amount you pay to drive the car off the lot, including the selling price, all dealer fees, accessories, taxes, title/registration, and government fees, minus any rebates you qualify for. It is the most complete picture of what a purchase actually costs. Always ask for an itemized OTD quote, not just a monthly payment. Details may vary by dealer, state, and contract.
