! Where to push back
2 thingsDoc fee is slightly padded
$995 is $161 above the VA average of $834. 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 10.0% above the advertised listing — roughly $3,500 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.
