! Where to push back

3 things

Doc fee is slightly padded

$599 is $199 above the national average of $400. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.

TipAsk them to match the average. If they won't, factor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.

Add-ons are baked into almost every deal

100% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $1,266. This is their business model — inflate the OTD, then hope you don't line-item it.

TipDemand an itemized quote before signing anything. Every add-on is optional — refuse them unless you actually want them.

Listing price and real price disagree

Quoted prices run 7.9% above the advertised listing — roughly $2,765 extra on a $35k vehicle. That's a pattern, not a rounding error.

TipThis dealer's listing price is a marketing number, not a real one. Don't anchor to it — anchor to an out-the-door target.

What they do well:Nothing stands out as a strength in this data. That's the finding.
