! Where to push back
3 thingsDoc fee is significantly inflated
$999 is $599 above the national average of $400. That's pure margin for the dealer, not cost of service.
TipThis fee is mostly not "standard paperwork" — it's profit. Push back, or get the equivalent off the vehicle price.
Add-ons are baked into almost every deal
100% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $1,459. This is their business model — inflate the OTD, then hope you don't line-item it.
TipDemand an itemized quote before signing anything. Every add-on is optional — refuse them unless you actually want them.
The listing isn't quite the price
Quoted prices run about 5.4% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,890 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.
