! Where to push back

2 things

Doc fee exceeds the state cap

Their typical doc fee of $1,595 is above NY's legal cap of $175. This is a red flag — every dealer in the state must stay at or below this number.

TipTell them you expect the doc fee at $175 or lower. It's not optional; it's the law.

The listing isn't quite the price

Quoted prices run about 6.5% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $2,275 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.

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