! Where to push back

2 things

Doc fee exceeds the state cap

Their typical doc fee of $498 is above TX's legal cap of $225. This is a red flag — every dealer in the state must stay at or below this number.

TipTell them you expect the doc fee at $225 or lower. It's not optional; it's the law.

Listing price and real price disagree

Quoted prices run 36.6% above the advertised listing — roughly $12,810 extra on a $35k vehicle. That's a pattern, not a rounding error.

TipThis dealer's listing price is a marketing number, not a real one. Don't anchor to it — anchor to an out-the-door target.

What they do well:Nothing stands out as a strength in this data. That's the finding.
