The full story
Why Polestar Scottsdale earned this grade
Between June 2026 and June 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 1 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
1 thingAdvertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 2.9% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
! Where to push back
1 thingDoc fee is significantly inflated
$2,003 is $1,402 above the AZ average of $601. 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.
