You will pay the appropriate Texas sales tax.
You will pay the appropriate title and registration fees

Do not pay the following:

Set up charges
Delivery charges
Dealer trade charges
Freight charges
Misc.shop charges
Documentary fees
Loan application Fees
paint sealant
fabric protection
"mop and glow"
"rust and dust"
LA&H
ADP

Yeah, don't pay anything extra other than tax and title.... anything else is a dealer scam.

Taxes naturally have to be paid... As per my Polaris dealer, " Set up and freight are embedded in the MSRP" Do Not pay any dealer for set up and freight.

I would also contact your local county assessor or motor vehicle offices. to find out how much the true registrations costs are. having been searching lately for a quad. The registration fees ranged from $30 to $100. I found out that all the dealer pays to the county/state is $30. anything more than that thee dealer was taking for themselves. Now, not all dealers take it for themselves. One dealer told me that they charged $50 and the extra money was sent to the Blue Ribbon Coalition.
Just make sure you know what your sales tax percentage is and registration fees are!!! "caviet emptor"--let the buyer beware!!!

Freight is included in the MSRP, set up isn't. However they come fully assembled and only need minor adjustments and the battery charged.
Some dealers (like us) change the jetting before it goes out, but that is coverd by warranty and shouldn't be charged
