The full story
Why Ford Of Port Richey earned this grade
Between November 2025 and August 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 4 verified deals with this dealership. We pulled the doc fee, the add-ons, and the gap between advertised and out-the-door price from each one. Then we graded them the way a friend in the business would: on the things that actually cost you money.
✓ What they do well
2 thingsMandatory add-ons are the exception
Only 25% of quotes include add-ons you can't decline, averaging $3,985 when present. Most shoppers here never see one.
Advertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 1.6% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
! Where to push back
1 thingDoc fee is significantly inflated
$1,298 is $390 above the FL average of $908. That's pure margin for the dealer, not cost of service.
TipThis fee is mostly not "standard paperwork" — it's profit. Push back, or get the equivalent off the vehicle price.
