The full story

Why 5280 Motor Company earned this grade

5280 Motor Company is graded A; CarEdge reviewed four verified quotes from December 2025 through October 2026. This review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices and whether charges were clearly shown.

What they do well

  • ✓ Lower confirmed dealer fees: Across the four quotes, confirmed dealer fees averaged $309. The Median state fee in Colorado was $740.87, the middle fee amount in the state reference.

Where to push back

Three of the four quotes did not fully itemize dealer fees, and two did not show government charges separately. Ask for a written breakdown of dealer fees and government charges before agreeing. The quotes did not establish how selling prices compared with advertised prices, so ask for an itemized written offer and compare the vehicle’s selling price with its advertised price.

How we know this

Every number on this page came from a real deal.

For 5280 Motor Company in Longmont, CO, that has meant 4 verified OTD quotes from the past year across 1 negotiated deal logged into our database. Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual dealer fees, the actual add-ons, and the final price against the advertised price — not a salesperson's promise.

Only quotes from the past year count. We split them into four groups, newest first: the newest counts 50%, then 30%, 15% and 5%.
