Lease
To see a lease, pick a vehicle. A lease is priced on one car: what it is expected to be worth at the end (its residual) and the leasing company's money factor change by model and by month.
An estimate on the numbers you type, not an offer of credit or a quote from any dealership. Starting loan rates are Rateous's rates for each credit range and term; they are not an offer from any lender. The documentary fee starts at an example figure, the state's legal cap where it has one or $599 where it does not, not any dealership's fee; each dealership sets its own. Taxes and state fees are estimates for Limestone, ME; the dealership's paperwork and your motor vehicle agency have the final numbers. Nothing you type is sent, saved, or used to check your credit.
Maine tax and fees are due when you register the car; the figures here are estimates from the state's published rates and are confirmed at registration.

Picking the car up in another state can mean paying that state's tax at the dealership first, and whether Maine credits it depends on the two states.

What is the doc fee in Limestone?
Maine sets no cap on it. Each dealership sets its own documentary fee (not a government fee), and each car shows its dealership's fee.
