Average confirmed dealer fees were $895 across the 10 quotes. All 10 exceeded the Median state fee in MA, which was $595; a median is the middle fee amount in its reference data. Four quotes also showed a single combined-fees amount rather than fully itemized dealer fees. Ask for each dealer fee to be listed separately in writing before agreeing.
One quote listed $2,995 in required extras. Ask whether those extras apply to your vehicle, what each one includes, and whether you can decline any of them. Request an itemized written offer showing the vehicle selling price, dealer fees, required extras, taxes and government charges.
