✓ What they do well
1 thingDoc fee is genuinely reasonable
$0 is $936 below the FL average of $936. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.
! Where to push back
2 thingsAdd-ons show up on most deals
44% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $1,199. Expect them to try to include something — paint protection, nitrogen-filled tires, VIN etching.
TipNearly all aftermarket add-ons are optional and removable. Say "please take those off the quote" and watch the OTD drop.
The listing isn't quite the price
Quoted prices run about 3.3% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,155 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.
