Notes

Prepaid maintenance plans, extended warranties, and GAP insurance are not taxed in Colorado and provide considerable savings over paying down the road. Maintenance can be included on the warranty line of the calculator for accurate handling.

The documentation fee is set by the dealer, but is not negotiable so clarify upfront what the dealer charges. The customary doc fee is $599 in Colorado but may differ as there is no maximum set by the state.

EV surcharges are levied to offset declining fuel tax revenue. Add $50 to the DMV fees for electric vehicles.
