How we know this

Every number on this page came from a real deal.

For Capitol GMC in San Jose, CA, that has meant 5 verified OTD quotes from the past year across 2 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%.
