✓ What they do well
1 thingAdd-ons offered — none required
This dealer includes optional add-ons in 50% of quotes, but none are mandatory — you can ask to remove any of them.
! Where to push back
2 thingsDoc fee exceeds the state cap
Their typical doc fee of $513.50 is above TX's legal cap of $225. This is a red flag — every dealer in the state must stay at or below this number.
TipTell them you expect the doc fee at $225 or lower. It's not optional; it's the law.
Listing price and real price disagree
Quoted prices run 10.2% above the advertised listing — roughly $3,570 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.
