95% of quotes include add-ons that aren't marked optional. Across all recent quotes, add-ons average $2,170. Plan on seeing them on your quote.
TipAsk for an itemized quote before signing, and ask the dealer to confirm in writing which add-ons, if any, are required.
The listing isn't quite the price
Quoted prices run about 3.4% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,190 in extra fees or markup.

How we know this
Every number on this page came from a real deal.
Most dealer review sites scrape star ratings and count angry posts. We do the opposite. CarEdge shops for cars alongside thousands of real buyers every week — and when we negotiate on their behalf, we capture the full out-the-door breakdown the dealer sends back.
For Bayway Cadillac of the Woodlands in The Woodlands, TX, that has meant 19 verified OTD quotes across 6 negotiated deals logged into our database. Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual doc fee, the actual add-ons, and the actual final price — not a salesperson's promise.
Fee Transparency

Add-on Behavior
30%How often does the dealer stick you with mandatory add-ons like paint protection or theft deterrent — the kind you can't say no to? Add-ons the dealer discloses as optional don't count against them.
Price Accuracy
