The full story

Why Audi Louisville earned this grade

Between April 2026 and April 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 15 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

2 things

Add-ons are the exception, not the rule

Only 13% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $1,995 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."

! Where to push back

1 thing

Doc fee is significantly inflated

$895 is $269 above the KY average of $626. 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.
