2 things

Doc fee is slightly padded

$620 is $107 above the MO average of $513. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.

TipFactor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.

Listing price and real price disagree

Quoted prices run 8.2% above the advertised listing — roughly $2,870 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.
