The full story

What they do well
- ✓ Dealer fees were itemized. All 3 quotes showed fully itemized dealer fees, making those charges easier to review.
Where to push back
Average confirmed dealer fees were $261, compared with the Median state fee of $251.05 in Indiana—the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample. That is a modest difference, but all 3 quotes had fees above the median. Ask whether the dealer can reduce the fees and request an itemized written quote showing the selling price, dealer fees, required extras, taxes and government charges separately. One quote did not show government charges separately, so confirm those amounts before agreeing.

How we know this
Every number on this page came from a real deal.
Most dealer review sites scrape star ratings and count angry posts. We do the opposite. CarEdge shops for cars alongside thousands of real buyers every week — and when we negotiate on their behalf, we capture the full out-the-door breakdown the dealer sends back.
For Defouw Chevrolet in Lafayette, IN, that has meant 3 verified OTD quotes from the past year across 1 negotiated deal 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%.
