How we know this

Every number on this page came from a real deal.

For Bob Lanphere's Beaverton Kia in Beaverton, OR, that has meant 15 verified OTD quotes from the past year across 3 negotiated deals logged into our database. 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%.
