The full story

Why Friendly Ford earned this grade

Between October 2025 and April 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 31 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 genuinely reasonable

$0 is $594 below the NV average of $594. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.

Add-ons are the exception, not the rule

Only 23% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $1,503 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.

Shoppers who negotiated saved real money

Across 4 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $2,764 from first quote to final. That tells you their opening number has room.

TipNever take the first quote. Their floor is lower than what they offer on day one.

! Where to push back

1 thing

The listing isn't quite the price

Quoted prices run about 4.4% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,540 in extra fees or markup.

TipGet an OTD quote in writing before you visit. Compare it to the listing — if there's a gap, ask them to account for every line.

How we know this

Every number on this page came from a real deal.

For Friendly Ford in Las Vegas, NV, that has meant 31 verified OTD quotes across 4 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.
