Where to push back

Five quotes show confirmed dealer fees averaging $384.63. The Median state fee in IL was $397.13, the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample; one quote did not fully itemize dealer fees. Ask for a complete breakdown rather than treating the small difference as a guaranteed saving.

One quote did not clearly break out taxes, and another did not show government charges separately. Before agreeing, ask for an itemized written offer showing the selling price, dealer fees, required extras, taxes and government charges.
