What it is

Documentation fee

Preparing and processing your paperwork

CVR fee

Electronic title and registration filing

Drive Shield

$1,499

Ceramic paint and interior protection, plus Brake Pulse

Sales tax, title and plates are separate. They depend on where you live and are figured in your personal offer.

Documentation fee: $280

Our documentation fee covers preparing and processing all the paperwork for your purchase: the contract, the title work and the registration.

CVR fee: $34

CVR stands for Computerized Vehicle Registration. It's the electronic system we use to file your title and registration with the state, so you can drive away without a trip to the Secretary of State.

Drive Shield: $1,499

On every vehicle we sell, new and used.

Drive Shield is two products, already installed when you see the vehicle, and listed on every vehicle's page so you see it upfront.

Diamond Ceramic Shield

A ceramic coating that bonds to your paint.

Outside: a water-repelling barrier that helps protect against road salt, tree sap, acid rain and bird droppings, and helps prevent fading from the sun. Damage from these isn't covered by your factory warranty.

Inside: protects fabric and leather seats from permanent stains from spills.

Warranty: 10 years.

Brake Pulse

A collision deterrence system.

How it works: when you press the brake, your third brake light (the one up high in the center) quickly flashes four times, so the driver behind you notices you're slowing down or stopping.

Built for northern Michigan: it matters most in low-visibility winter conditions, when reaction time is everything.

Smart logic: it won't flash in stop-and-go traffic.
