Where to push back
Average confirmed dealer fees across 3 quotes were $804.50. The Median state fee in Alabama was $799, the middle fee amount in the state quote sample; 1 quote’s confirmed fees exceeded it. The difference is small, but ask what each fee covers.
Two quotes did not fully itemize dealer fees, including 1 with a single unclear combined-fees amount. Ask, “Can you provide an itemized written quote showing what each dealer fee covers?” Also compare the vehicle selling price with the advertised price before agreeing.

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.
