What they do well
No specific pricing strength stands out from these quotes.
Where to push back
Among the 19 quotes with confirmed dealer-fee totals, Average confirmed dealer fees were $871.70. The Median state fee in California was $117, the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample; confirmed fees exceeded it in all 19 of those quotes. Ask the dealer to explain each fee and whether it can be removed.
In 19 quotes, fees appeared as a single combined amount rather than a full breakdown. Before agreeing, ask for an itemized written offer separating the vehicle selling price, each dealer fee, required extras, taxes, and government charges. Also compare the selling price with the advertised price; these quotes do not provide a basis for a price comparison.

How we know this
Every number on this page came from a real deal.
Most dealer review sites scrape star ratings and count angry posts. We do the opposite. CarEdge shops for cars alongside thousands of real buyers every week — and when we negotiate on their behalf, we capture the full out-the-door breakdown the dealer sends back.
For Garden Grove Kia in Garden Grove, CA, that has meant 22 verified OTD quotes from the past year across 6 negotiated deals logged into our database. Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual dealer fees, the actual add-ons, and the final price against the advertised price — not a salesperson's promise.
Only quotes from the past year count. We split them into four groups, newest first: the newest counts 50%, then 30%, 15% and 5%.
