2 thingsDoc fee is slightly padded
$699 is $173 above the KS average of $526. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.
TipFactor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.
Listing price and real price disagree
Quoted prices run 8.5% above the advertised listing — roughly $2,975 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.

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 Cable Dahmer Buick GMC of Topeka in Topeka, KS, that has meant 2 verified OTD quotes across 1 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.
