The full story
Why Gene Gorman's Auto Sales earned this grade
Gene Gorman's Auto Sales received a B; CarEdge reviewed 4 eligible quotes from June through October 2026. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices and whether charges were clearly shown.
What they do well
- ✓ One quote came in below the advertised price. In the one written quote with a checked price, the vehicle selling price was $23,987, compared with an advertised price of $24,987.
Where to push back
Average confirmed dealer fees were $1,879 across the 4 quotes. All 4 exceeded Florida’s Median state fee of $1,299, the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample. One quote did not fully itemize dealer fees. Ask for a written breakdown of every dealer fee and for the quoted fees to be explained before agreeing.
Two quotes did not show government charges separately. Ask for an itemized written offer that separates the vehicle selling price, dealer fees, taxes and government charges, and compare the selling price with the advertised price.
