The full story
Why Bill Brandt Ford earned this grade
Bill Brandt Ford is graded B. CarEdge reviewed 10 verified quotes from December 2025 through October 2026. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices, and whether charges were clearly shown.
What they do well
- ✓ Written prices came in below the advertised prices. In five written quotes, vehicle selling prices averaged $7,424 below the advertised prices; the differences ranged from $427 to $12,493.
- ✓ Dealer fees were modest and itemized. Average confirmed dealer fees were $92.40, below the $117 Median state fee—the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample. Dealer fees were fully itemized in all 10 quotes.
Where to push back
Required extras averaged $299 across the seven quotes showing those charges, and all seven had a required-extra charge. Three quotes did not fully itemize extras. Ask for a written breakdown of every required extra and whether any can be removed before agreeing. Compare the vehicle’s selling price with its advertised price in an itemized written offer.
