The full story
Why Drive In Motors earned this grade
Between August 2026 and August 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 1 verified deals with this dealership. We pulled the doc fee, the add-ons, and the gap between advertised and out-the-door price from each one. Then we graded them the way a friend in the business would: on the things that actually cost you money.
✓ What they do well
1 thingDoc fee is in line with the market
At $395, their doc fee sits at or just under the UT average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.
! Where to push back
1 thingListing price and real price disagree
Quoted prices run 11.4% above the advertised listing — roughly $3,990 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.
