! Where to push back
2 thingsDoc fee is significantly inflated
$999 is $202 above the GA average of $797. 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.
The listing isn't quite the price
Quoted prices run about 4.3% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,505 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.

For Group 1 Subaru Rivertown in Columbus, GA, that has meant 1 verified OTD quotes 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.
