The full story

Why Ken Ganley Kia New Port Richey earned this grade

Between October 2025 and March 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

Add-ons are the exception, not the rule

Only 30% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $1,495 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.

The price you see is the price you get

Their quoted selling price almost exactly matches the advertised listing price. No mystery markup, no surprise "market adjustment."

! Where to push back

1 thing

Doc fee is significantly inflated

$1,295 is $312 above the FL average of $983. 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.
