What they do well
No specific pricing or fee-transparency strength is established by these quotes.
Where to push back
Across the 3 quotes, one did not fully itemize dealer fees, one did not list government charges separately, and one had unclear taxes. These are reasons to ask for the details in writing, not proof of an extra or improper charge. The 2 quotes with confirmed dealer-fee totals averaged $103.50. The Median state fee in California was $117, the middle fee amount in the state’s quote sample; one of the 3 dealer quotes exceeded that reference. Ask for an itemized written quote showing the vehicle selling price, dealer fees, required extras, taxes, and government charges before agreeing.
