✓ What they do well
1 thingAdvertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 2.6% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
! Where to push back
2 thingsDoc fee is significantly inflated
$999 is $201 above the NC average of $798. 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.
Add-ons show up on most deals
50% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $2,137. Expect them to try to include something — paint protection, nitrogen-filled tires, VIN etching.
TipNearly all aftermarket add-ons are optional and removable. Say "please take those off the quote" and watch the OTD drop.
