Dealer fees on repossessed SUVs in Texas

Got a clean-title SUV quote but the doc fee looks padded. What line items are normal before funding?

How much tire note should affect my offer?

Inspection says two tires are low but no mechanical fail. Would you cut the offer or just price tires into transport?
