! Where to push back

2 things

Doc fee is slightly padded

$490 is $21 above the PA average of $469. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.

TipAsk them to match the average. If they won't, factor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.

Listing price and real price disagree

Quoted prices run 7.5% above the advertised listing — roughly $2,625 extra on a $35k vehicle. That's a pattern, not a rounding error.

TipThis dealer's listing price is a marketing number, not a real one. Don't anchor to it — anchor to an out-the-door target.

What they do well:Nothing stands out as a strength in this data. That's the finding.
