Cheapest and most expensive states to buy a car: Unexpected fees that drive up cost

MORE AT FORBES
Some states are a bargain, but consumers in some states can expect to pay an extra couple of thousand dollars for costs you might not think of when you shop for a car – state and local sales tax, registration fee and so-called “doc fees,” short for dealer documentation fees.
Consumers should budget for those extra fees when they’re shopping for cars and negotiating the price. Unexpected fees can cause sticker shock, or they could even be a deal-breaker for consumers on a tight budget.
MojoMotors.com, a used-car classified ad site, said its recent research showed Alabama was the most expensive state for those items, at an estimated average of $2,313. Oregon was the cheapest, at only $127. That’s based on the purchase and registration of an average-priced used car, which MojoMotors.com pegged at $16,500.
Here are the five most expensive and the five cheapest states, in terms of what percent of the price of the car those three fees represent. Total fees are the sum of average state and local sales tax, average state registration fee and average dealer doc fee.

Toyota fuel cell car to cost $69,000 in Japan, debut in U.S., Europe in 2015
TOKYO -- Toyota Motor Corp.’s highly-anticipated hydrogen fuel cell vehicle will debut in the Japan market by next April priced around 7 million yen ($69,348) and go on sale in the United States and Europe by the summer of 2015, thecarmaker said today.
Toyota unveiled the production version’s exterior design in Tokyo, showing an electric blue vehicle with only subtly toned-down styling from the dramatically curved concept with gaping front air intakes exhibited at the Tokyo auto show last fall.
Toyota said the car, dubbed the FCV, will first go on sale in U.S. markets where the hydrogen refueling infrastructure is developed. It did not give details, but the company is already partnering to build a hydrogen pump network in California, where the car is seen as key to helping Toyota meet the state’s stringent zero-emissions regulations.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- CNN released its first wave of analysis from voters who participated in exit polls Tuesday
- A majority of those surveyed had unfavorable views of both parties
Washington (CNN) -- A majority of Americans are dissatisfied or angry with President Barack Obama's administration and GOP leaders, according to exit polls released Tuesday and analyzed by CNN.
And about 8 in 10 Americans disapprove of how Congress is handling its job, according to a survey of voters outside of polling places on Election Day.
Nearly six in 10 voters are either dissatisfied or angry with both the White House and Republican leaders in Congress. Less than a third of Americans are satisfied with the Obama administration and GOP leaders.
And heading into the voting booth, seven in ten Americans said they were concerned about economic conditions.
Most voters had a negative view of both parties, with the Democratic Party barely edging out the GOP to pull a positive view from 44% of voters compared to 40% for the Republican Party.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- Hillary Clinton campaigned in Iowa this week, stumping for Democrat Bruce Braley
- Activists think there's a possibility there won't be a viable alternative to Clinton for Democrats
- That's a sharp distance from the Republican 2016 field, which seems wide open
- Democratic hopefuls besides Clinton and Joe Biden have little name recognition
Des Moines, Iowa (CNN) -- Imagine if Iowa held a caucus and nobody but Hillary Clinton showed up.
Democrats of all stripes, including Clinton allies, have predicted for months that the former Secretary of State -- who was campaigning for midterm candidates in Iowa on Wednesday -- will face some kind challenge in the race for the Democratic nomination if she decides to run. The prospect of a Clinton campaign seems more likely with each passing day.
But with the presidential race set to lurch into gear after next week's midterm elections and no clear alternative to Clinton emerging, there are questions about whether she will be the sole candidate on the ballot. That would mark a dramatic shift from the rollicking caucus fights in previous campaigns, including Clinton's battle with Barack Obama and John Edwards in 2008.
"There is a distinct possibility that there will be no serious alternative," said Kurt Meyer, a plugged-in Democratic activist from Mitchell County, Iowa. "She may in essence have the field to herself, with one or two fringe protest candidates and no serious candidates opposing her."
The prospect of an uncontested race is a little bewildering to some Democrats here, where competitive caucuses are ingrained in the culture.
