Where to push back
Average confirmed dealer fees were $228.81; 8 quotes exceeded the Median state fee in California of $117, the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample. Three quotes showed a single combined-fees amount instead of fully itemized dealer fees. Ask for an itemized fee breakdown before agreeing.
One quote showed $1,490 in required extras. Ask which extras are required and whether any can be removed, and get their cost in writing. The two price checks did not show a quote above the advertised vehicle price, but ask the dealer to confirm the selling price and any advertised discount on your written offer.
