Acceptable Payment Methods:

- if you will be picking up the vehicle in-person, we accept certified check, previously arranged financing through one of our lenders or your own lender, or bank wire. If you are paying with a certified check, it must be verified before we will release the vehicle. Many banks only verify certified checks during normal business hours, so we will need to make plans accordingly if you’re using a certified check.

- if the vehicle will be released to anyone other than the buyer (3rd party, transport company, etc), then the only forms of payment are a bank wire or previously arranged financing through one of our lenders or your own lender.

Taxes and Fees: All transactions will be assessed a $150 documentation fee, $5 temporary registration plate fee, and Texas inventory tax, which is calculated at 0.2365% of the sale price, regardless of where the vehicle will be registered – no exceptions. For example, a vehicle selling for $40,000 would be assessed $94.60 in Texas inventory tax, $5 temporary plate fee, and a $150 documentation fee for a total of $40,249.60.

If the buyer of a vehicle will be registering the car in Texas, we are obligated by the State of Texas to collect motor vehicle sales tax at a rate of 6.25% of the sale price in addition to the aforementioned inventory tax, $5 temporary plate fee, and $150 documentation fee.

If the buyer will be registering the car outside of Texas, we do not collect Texas state sales tax, and if the buyer pays for the vehicle in-full before vehicle release with no loan or lien holder, the only fees additional to the sale price that will be assessed are the aforementioned $150 documentation fee, $5 temporary plate fee, and Texas state inventory tax (0.2365%). However, if the vehicle is financed we may be obligated by the lender to register the vehicle at the buyer’s respective location, collect any applicable fees and taxes for the location of registration, and apply for a lien on behalf of the lender. The only circumstance in which we will not require the collection of all respective local taxes and registration fees for a vehicle that’s financed and registered outside of Texas is with an expressed written and authorized statement from an agent of the lender releasing Autobahn from the obligation to collect taxes, register the vehicle, and record a lien on the lender’s behalf. All vehicles listed include all factory incentives applied.
