! Where to push back
2 thingsDoc fee is significantly inflated
$945 is $389 above the MA average of $556. 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.
The listing isn't quite the price
Quoted prices run about 6.3% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $2,205 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.
