The full story
Why Hatchett Hyundai East earned this grade
Between August 2025 and April 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 4 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

Only 25% of quotes include add-ons you can't decline. Across all recent quotes, add-ons average $187. Most shoppers here never see one.
! Where to push back
2 thingsDoc fee is slightly padded
$595 is $69 above the KS average of $526. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.
TipFactor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.
The listing isn't quite the price
Quoted prices run about 4.2% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,470 in extra fees or markup.

How we know this

For Hatchett Hyundai East in Wichita, KS, that has meant 4 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
30%Is the doc fee reasonable, or is it just profit? We compare it against the state average — and the legal cap, where one exists.
Add-on Behavior
30%How often does the dealer stick you with mandatory add-ons like paint protection or theft deterrent — the kind you can't say no to? Add-ons the dealer discloses as optional don't count against them.
Price Accuracy
