The full story
Why Al Packer Ford Royal Palm Beach earned this grade
Between May 2026 and July 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 19 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
4 thingsDoc fee is genuinely reasonable
$699 is $214 below the FL average of $913. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.
Add-ons are the exception, not the rule
Only 11% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $2,946 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.
The price you see is the price you get
Their quoted selling price almost exactly matches the advertised listing price. No mystery markup, no surprise "market adjustment."
Shoppers who negotiated saved real money
Across 3 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $2,539 from first quote to final. That tells you their opening number has room.
TipNever take the first quote. Their floor is lower than what they offer on day one.
