The full story
Why Joyce Koons Buick GMC earned this grade
Between July 2026 and September 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 6 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 thingsNo dealer add-ons detected
Across 6 recent quotes, we haven't seen a single "dealer accessory," "paint protection," or "theft deterrent" line item. That is rare, and it is good.
Advertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 1.6% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
! Where to push back
1 thingDoc fee is significantly inflated
$1,199 is $362 above the VA average of $837. 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.
