The full story
Why Kendall At The Idaho Center Auto Mall earned this grade

✓ What they do well
1 thingThe 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
2 thingsDoc fee is slightly padded
$513 is $128 above the ID average of $385. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.
TipFactor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.
Mandatory add-ons show up on most deals
43% of quotes include add-ons presented as non-negotiable, averaging $701. Expect them to try to include something — paint protection, nitrogen-filled tires, VIN etching.
TipAsk which items are genuinely required and which are dealer-added. Anything not required by the manufacturer or the state is worth pushing on.
