What they do well
No specific strength is supported by the available quote details.
Where to push back
Three quotes show average confirmed dealer fees of $656. The Median state fee in KY is $684, the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample; one quote’s total dealer fees were unknown, and one did not fully itemize dealer fees. Ask for a written breakdown of all dealer fees before agreeing. One quote did not clearly show taxes, and one did not list government charges separately, so ask for an itemized written offer showing taxes and government charges as well.

How we know this
Every number on this page came from a real deal.

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.
