Every number on a New York vehicle purchase agreement traces back to one of exactly three sources: the manufacturer, New York State law, or the dealer.
A Land Rover dealer in New York City charges three categories of fees: charges set by the manufacturer, charges set by New York State law, and one charge set by the dealer — the documentary fee, capped by regulation at $175. Every line on your purchase agreement traces back to one of these three sources.
Jaguar Land Rover sets both, and they vary by model and configuration — not by dealership.
Sales tax, DMV fees, and the waste-tire fee are set by statute and apply identically at every dealership in the state.
The one charge a dealer actually sets — and even it's capped by regulation, with disclosure required in writing.
Statutory figures below are current as of August 2026. MSRP and destination charge carry no fixed amount here because both vary by model.
| Line Item | Set By | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| MSRP | Manufacturer | Varies by model and trim |
| Destination charge | Manufacturer | Varies by model |
| Combined sales tax (Manhattan) | NY State + NYC + MCTD statute | 8.875% of taxable price |
| DMV title fee | NY State (DMV) | $50 |
| DMV registration fee (2-year, 5,451–5,550 lb class) | NY State (DMV) | $105 |
| Plate fee (new plates only) | NY State (DMV) | $25 |
| Waste tire management fee (per tire) | NY State (Tax & Finance) | $2.50 |
| Dealer documentary fee | Dealer, capped by NY regulation | Up to $175 |
Manhattan's 8.875% rate stacks a 4.0% state base, 4.5% NYC local rate, and a 0.375% MCTD surcharge. Registration fee shown is DMV's published rate for the 5,451–5,550 lb class, matching a Range Rover SE's curb weight; heavier trims fall into the next bracket up. The tire fee is authorized only through December 31, 2027.
Every other charge above is fixed by statute regardless of dealership. The documentary fee is the exception — New York regulation (15 NYCRR Part 78.19) caps what a dealer may charge for registration and title paperwork at $175, and a dealer must disclose in writing that it isn't a state or DMV fee. This same three-source structure applies whether you're weighing a Range Rover against a G-Wagon or looking at leasing and finance instead of a cash purchase.
The $175 figure is a maximum set by New York regulation, not a fixed charge every dealer must apply. A dealer can charge less, but cannot legally charge more, and must disclose in writing that the fee isn't a state or DMV charge.
It stacks three levies: New York State's 4% base rate, New York City's 4.5% local rate, and a 0.375% Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District surcharge.
Yes — the fee is charged per new tire sold, so a vehicle delivered on four new tires carries $10.00 total under the current $2.50-per-tire rate.
