! Where to push back

2 things

Doc fee is significantly inflated

$1,099 is $276 above the GA average of $823. 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.

Listing price and real price disagree

Quoted prices run 14.1% above the advertised listing — roughly $4,935 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.
