The full story

Why BMW of Fairfax earned this grade

BMW Of Fairfax has 14 eligible quotes from November 2025 through September 2026. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices, and whether charges were clearly shown.

What they do well

  • ✓ One offer matched the advertised price In one written offer, the $39,999 vehicle selling price matched the advertised price. That is a positive example, though it reflects just one quote.

Where to push back

One quote included $995 in required extras. Ask what the extra covers, whether it applies to your offer, and to have it shown separately in writing. Eight quotes show confirmed dealer fees averaging $971; six quotes did not show fully itemized dealer fees. Ask for an itemized written offer that lists every dealer fee, required extra, tax, and government charge before agreeing.

How we know this

Every number on this page came from a real deal.

Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual dealer fees, the actual add-ons, and the final price against the advertised price — not a salesperson's promise.

Only quotes from the past year count. We split them into four groups, newest first: the newest counts 50%, then 30%, 15% and 5%.
