The full story

Why Gettel Toyota of Charlotte County earned this grade

Between October 2025 and November 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 10 verified deals with this dealership. We pulled the doc fee, the add-ons, and the gap between advertised and out-the-door price from each one. Then we graded them the way a friend in the business would: on the things that actually cost you money.

✓ What they do well

2 things

Quoted add-ons are the exception

Only 30% of quotes include add-ons that aren't marked optional. Across all recent quotes, add-ons average $509. Most shoppers here never see one.

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 1.7% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

! Where to push back

1 thing

Doc fee is significantly inflated

$1,299 is $306 above the FL average of $993. 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.

For Gettel Toyota of Charlotte County in Punta Gorda, FL, that has meant 10 verified OTD quotes across 1 negotiated deals logged into our database. Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual doc fee, the actual add-ons, and the actual final price — not a salesperson's promise.

Fee Transparency

Add-on Behavior

30%
