✓ What they do well
1 thingDoc fee is genuinely reasonable
$0 is $233 below the TX average of $233. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.
! Where to push back
1 thingListing price and real price disagree
Quoted prices run 22.6% above the advertised listing — roughly $7,910 extra on a $35k vehicle. That's a pattern, not a rounding error.
