! Where to push back
3 thingsDoc fee is significantly inflated
$1,000 is $204 above the GA average of $796. That's pure margin for the dealer, not cost of service.
TipThis fee is mostly not "standard paperwork" — it's profit. Push back, or get the equivalent off the vehicle price.
Quoted add-ons show up on most deals
67% of quotes include add-ons that aren't marked optional. Across all recent quotes, add-ons average $2,662. 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 7.0% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $2,450 in extra fees or markup.
TipGet an OTD quote in writing before you visit. Compare it to the listing — if there's a gap, ask them to account for every line.
