The full story

Why Ford Of Kendall earned this grade

Between December 2025 and July 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 10 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

3 things

Doc fee is in line with the market

At $899, their doc fee sits at or just under the FL average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.

Add-ons are the exception, not the rule

Only 10% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $578 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 0.5% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

! Where to push back:Nothing glaring. That's part of why they scored where they did.
