The full story

Why Al Packer Ford West Palm Beach earned this grade

Al Packer Ford West Palm Beach received a B. CarEdge reviewed 14 verified quotes from January through October 2026. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices and whether charges were clearly shown.

What they do well

  • ✓ Dealer fees were clearly itemized and below the reference. Confirmed dealer fees averaged $941 across the quotes, and none exceeded the Median state fee in Florida of $1,299—the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample.

Where to push back

Required extras add substantial cost: they averaged $998 across the 11 quotes that showed an amount, and all 11 included a required-extra charge. Ask which extras are required, whether any can be removed, and for the total to be shown in writing.

In the two written offers with selling-price comparisons, the quoted vehicle prices were above the advertised prices by $268 and $898, averaging $583. Ask the dealer to honor the advertised vehicle price and show it separately from fees, extras, taxes and government charges.
