The full story

Why Fox Subaru earned this grade

Between November 2025 and February 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 23 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 $280, their doc fee sits at or just under the MI average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.

Add-ons are the exception, not the rule

Only 17% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $687 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.

The price you see is the price you get

Their quoted selling price almost exactly matches the advertised listing price. No mystery markup, no surprise "market adjustment."

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

How we know this

Every number on this page came from a real deal.

For Fox Subaru in Ann Arbor, MI, that has meant 23 verified OTD quotes across 2 negotiated deals logged into our database. Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual doc fee, the actual add-ons, and the actual final price — not a salesperson's promise.
