What they do well

Doc fee is genuinely reasonable

$500 is $298 below the NC average of $798. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 2.5% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

! Where to push back

1 thing

Add-ons show up on most deals

33% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $130. Expect them to try to include something — paint protection, nitrogen-filled tires, VIN etching.

TipNearly all aftermarket add-ons are optional and removable. Say "please take those off the quote" and watch the OTD drop.
